Bronchiectasis Patient Conference 2026

The 6th annual Bronchiectasis Patient Conference will take place from 10:00 to 16:00 CET on 21 March 2026. The conference is an opportunity for anyone living with or interested in bronchiectasis to learn more about the disease and how to manage it. It is organised in collaboration with EMBARC and the ELF Bronchiectasis Patient Advisory Group (PAG).

The event will cover topics including:

• An introduction to bronchiectasis
• What good bronchiectasis care and treatment should look like
• Understanding sputum (mucus): what it is and why it matters
• Infections: risk factors and prevention strategies, with a focus on Pseudomonas, NTM (non-tuberculous mycobacterial infection) and aspergillosis
• Practical lifestyle guidance for managing bronchiectasis
• The latest advances in bronchiectasis research
• Insights from the ‘Untold Stories’ bronchiectasis patient survey

A full programme with details of all talks and topics to be included will be published soon.

We will hear from people living with bronchiectasis and healthcare professionals. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions to the speakers and experts via the chat.
