This article presents the highlights of the 2024 European Respiratory Society (ERS) Congress as experienced by the early career allied respiratory professionals (Assembly 9) across the different groups. These highlights are grouped under the themes of 1) digital health and artificial intelligence (AI), 2) self-management, and 3) use of race and ethnicity in pulmonary function testing. The themes were selected by the early career members based on their novelty and attention during the congress. We combine highlights from symposia with novel findings presented in abstract presentations. The theme of the ERS Congress 2024 was “Humans and machines: getting the balance right”.
