Wheezing & Sneezing in the Desert Arizona Annual Asthma & Allergy Conference 2026

The conference takes place at Creighton University in Phoenix, Arizona.

The stated audience includes physicians, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, respiratory therapists, case management and quality improvement managers, and school nurses.

It is worth it for primary care providers, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, respiratory therapists and school nurses in Arizona who manage asthma and allergy patients, since the program includes a review of GINA guidelines and atopic dermatitis, with Dr. William Busse among the speakers. As a one-day Saturday event in its 20th year, it gives a practical update for generalists; specialists such as pulmonologists and allergists already deep in GINA guidelines may find it more of a refresher.

Clinical education days like this usually see business casual, with many clinicians in slacks and collared shirts or scrubs, and a Saturday in Phoenix in late October is warm enough for lighter fabrics. A light layer helps against strong air conditioning in a university lecture room.
