SecondAbout the event
Eight years ago, we started a conversation between specialists who rarely sat in the same room. This year, we go further.
The Type 2 Academy is a 1.5-day medical education congress bringing together ~300 dermatologists, pulmonologists, ENT specialists, gastroenterologists and immunologists/allergists at the Ritz-Carlton, Jeddah; united by a single scientific insight: the skin, the airways, the nose and the gut can be driven by the same underlying inflammatory biology.
Two days built around that insight. Day 1 goes deep into each specialty. Day 2 brings every specialty into one room; with a payer on stage; to tackle the questions no single specialist can answer alone.
Whether you have been treating Type 2 inflammation conditions for years or are encountering this framework for the first time, this is the event built for that conversation.
~300 HCPs. 5 specialties. One biology. Jeddah, 2026.
