Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease - GOLD

GOLD works with healthcare professionals and public health officials around the world to raise awareness of COPD and to improve prevention and treatment of this lung disease.

Through the development of evidence-based strategy documents for management of both COPD, and events such as the annual World COPD Day and the yearly GOLD International COPD Conference, GOLD is working to improve the lives of people with COPD in every corner of the globe.

The GOLD International COPD Conference, held annually in Philadelphia, is the most comprehensive educational symposium dedicated entirely to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The conference, offered as a hybrid event, provides the best opportunity to engage with COPD providers across the country and internationally both in-person and online.
