IPIG 2025 | The success of the 2nd IPIG conference: moving the field of PNH forward

Yeah, I think it’s a fantastic meeting. It is a very small crowd of focused physicians, allied healthcare professionals, and sponsors as well. And again, we did the first meeting in Harrogate two years back, which was a great success, but this is definitely tripled from a numbers perspective as well. We got a large, large group of more than 300 registered participants with a fantastic program with a mix of young investigators, people who’ve been in the field for many, many years as well. And the topics covered are not the bog-standard conventional treatment but diving very much into the nuances of managing PNH but also taking a back step to make sure we start from the beginning so people who are entering into the field of PNH also had some knowledge about understanding the gaps where research should be done as well. So overall, I thought this was a great success and obviously was the deliberate ploy by the organizers to keep the talks to 50% of the allocated time and give 50% of the time for discussion, which is always fantastic and the endless discussions does make the session a great success and hopefully tomorrow we’ll have similar discussions and in the poster session as well and we’ll always make sure that people want to come back although it’s going to be in two years that this is going to be a great thing. And it’s also, as you know, this is a small community so it’s fantastic to network ideas from other colleagues as well have time to talk to other colleagues and other investigators so we have multiple ideas so that we can take the field forward.
