The IEI committee was enlarged in 2010 to include representatives from Central/South America, Africa, the Middle East and S Asia Pacific.

The next committee meeting will be in August 2013 in Milan, alongside the International Congress of Immunology, to consider the next version of the IEI Classification tables. A satellite symposium is being organised to take place in Milan before the meeting as well as an embedded educational session to take place during the Congress.
