The Plasma Protein Therapeutics Association (PPTA) is thrilled to unveil the program for the highly anticipated 2024 International Plasma Protein Congress (IPPC), scheduled to take place from April 16-17 in Athens, Greece. This prestigious Congress promises an array of engaging sessions, thought-provoking discussions, and networking opportunities aimed at advancing strategies to ensure sustained patient access to plasma and plasma-derived medicinal products (PDMPs) while prioritising donor health and safety.
This year’s Congress has been specifically designed to model the journey from plasma donation, through manufacturing, to finally reaching a patient in need.
Highlights of the 2024 Congress include:
Inaugural session: The Congress will begin with a powerful conversation between a plasma donor and a patient who receives plasma-derived medicinal products. Together, they will offer a firsthand account and invaluable insights into the nuanced challenges and opportunities surrounding plasma donation and therapy.
Expert panels: Interactive panel discussions will delve into critical topics such as:
- Real-world evidence on the safety of plasma donation

The Congress will also feature an interactive exhibition hall showcasing innovative products, services, and technologies from leading industry suppliers and partners.
"We are thrilled to unveil the program for the 2024 International Plasma Protein Congress," said Maarten Van Baelen, Executive Director, Head of Europe.
