American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology

What American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology does

The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI), founded in 1943 and headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is a private nonprofit professional membership organization representing more than 7,000 allergists, immunologists, clinical immunologists, allied health professionals, and trainees in the United States, Canada, and 72 additional countries. Its mission centers on advancing the knowledge and practice of allergy, asthma, and immunology for optimal patient care. Operationally, AAAAI delivers value to members through a multi-domain digital platform spanning the main www.aaaai.org site, the AAAAI Education Center (education.aaaai.org), AAAAI Ignite for on-demand learning, the Annual Meeting site (annualmeeting.aaaai.org), the Find an Allergist directory and Virtual Allergist symptom checker (allergist.aaaai.org), and pollen.aaaai.org for National Allergy Bureau pollen counts.

AAAAAI monetizes its mission through a diversified nonprofit revenue stack: recurring membership dues from individual specialists, Annual Meeting registration and practice management workshop fees, ACCME- and CBRN-accredited CME activities (including $2,500 joint providership fees for non-profit partners), peer-reviewed journal subscriptions and publications (JACI, JACI: In Practice, JACI: Global), one-time mailing list rentals to organizations promoting allergy-related events and services, and ancillary product sales. Go-to-market is community-led, anchored on an annual meeting, continuing education, advocacy (e.g., PAVE Act, World Asthma Day Capitol visit), and digital member engagement. Patient-facing services — symptom checking, specialist finder, pollen counts, and condition guides — extend the brand to a market of more than 106 million Americans with asthma and allergic diseases while driving specialist referrals to dues-paying members.

Direct peers

• American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI): ACAAI is the other leading U.S. professional medical society for allergists/immunologists, offering parallel CME, journals (Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology), annual meetings, and advocacy. It is the most directly comparable peer to AAAAI and is also named alongside AAAAI in joint workforce initiatives.
• World Allergy Organization (WAO): WAO is the international umbrella body for allergy/clinical immunology societies, including AAAAI. It convenes global congresses and coordinates education across national societies, overlapping AAAAI's mission on a worldwide basis.
• Clinical Immunology Society (CIS): CIS is a U.S. professional society focused on clinical immunology, with overlapping membership (immunologists) and similar society offerings including annual meetings, CME, and journals. It targets an adjacent but overlapping specialty subset of AAAAI's membership.
• American College of Rheumatology (ACR): ACR serves rheumatologists, sharing immunology-adjacent clinical content and overlapping physician audiences with AAAAI. It runs a comparable society infrastructure including journals (Arthritis & Rheumatology), annual meetings, and fellowship pipelines.
• Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA): AAFA is a leading patient-focused allergy/asthma organization that partners with AAAAI on Capitol Hill advocacy. While AAFA's mission centers on patients rather than physicians, it operates in the same disease space and is a co-advocacy peer.

Regional players

• European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI): EAACI is the European counterpart to AAAAI, serving allergists/immunologists across Europe with congresses, journals (Allergy), and educational programs. It operates the same professional society model in a different geography, making it a strong cross-regional comparable.

Broad incumbents

• American Thoracic Society (ATS): ATS is a larger, established medical professional society covering pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine — overlapping AAAAI's asthma domain. It operates a similar society model (journals, conferences, advocacy) but at a broader respiratory scale.
• American College of Chest Physicians (CHEST): CHEST is a physician specialty society for chest medicine that overlaps with AAAAI in asthma and respiratory care. It uses the same professional society playbook (journals, CME, annual meeting, advocacy) but at a broader scope.
• American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP): AAP is a large pediatric professional society whose allergy/asthma guidance and CME for pediatric allergists overlap with AAAAI's mission. It is a comparable specialty society at much greater scale and scope.
• American Medical Association (AMA): AMA is the broadest U.S. physician membership organization, providing a society-level model (CME, advocacy, publications) comparable to AAAAI but spanning all medical specialties rather than focusing on allergy/immunology.
