Birmingham is the best – so central with fantastic transport links into and around the city of diverse architecture and green spaces; it offers a great range of accommodation and cuisine, and the people are so friendly and welcoming.  I’ve been attending and chairing respiratory and Interstitial Lung Disease conferences and meetings in Birmingham for over a decade and in 2024 I moved to work here at the University of Birmingham. As a Conference Ambassador Network member i will benefit from expert help to expand and optimise our events for the respiratory community.
