Since 2015, the Barcelona International Cough Conference (BICC) has been the leading international symposium dedicated to cough, the most prevalent respiratory symptom shared by most pathologies. Born in the area of influence of SEPAR, its evolution has gone hand in hand with regulations on chronic cough and clinical advances that have transformed its approach.
BICC brings together a multidisciplinary community of clinicians, researchers, managers, and industry to update evidence, discuss diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, and transfer knowledge to healthcare practice. Our program, currently under development, will feature top-level national and international speakers and will be published shortly.
