General Information
The American Transplant Congress is designed for physicians, surgeons, scientists, nurses, organ procurement personnel, and pharmacists who are interested in the clinical and research aspects of solid organ and tissue transplantation. The meeting will provide the most current information in the field of transplant science.
The purpose of the meeting is to review and evaluate the latest clinical and basic science advances in transplantation science, medicine and surgery; investigate recent developments in transplant biology, immunology and organ preservation and examine the broad but critical issues in transplantation, including social and policy issues.
A variety of formats are planned that will encourage the exchange of new scientific and clinical information and support an interchange of opinions regarding care and management as well as socioeconomic, ethical and regulatory issues relevant to organ and tissue transplantation. ATC is designed with a variety of program layouts and formats to engage all types of learners.
This year’s program will include:
In-Depth Symposia: Two-and-a-half hour sessions designed around a specific topic of interest. These sessions provide in-depth state-of-the-art information focused both on clinical and research areas from various perspectives, allowing attendees to make connections and incorporate the knowledge acquired into everyday practice.
IMPACT Sessions: Industry Innovators discuss how the transplant industry is transforming daily work lives for tomorrow’s advancements. Attendees can expect to leave these sessions armed with cutting-edge information that will pave the way to the future of the industry.

These sessions are designed in an intimate discussion setting without formal slide presentations. The purposeful layout is designed to allow interaction and discussion while creating new connections.
Controversies in Transplantation: Top level experts will debate controversial topics in both Basic and Translational Science on “The Science of Fire and Ice: Machine Perfusion vs. Cryopreservation” and Public Policy and Regulatory Issues on “Just Not Allocation but Equity in Organ Transplantation”.
Focus in Transplantation: These sessions offer a deep-dive into focused presentations on Basic and Translational science. Individual sessions on “Basic: Revisiting the Barrier Imposed by Memory and Effector T Cells” and “Translational: Utilizing AI and Deep Based Learning Approaches in Transplantation” will be presented.
Women’s Networking Event: This networking event will go beyond the curriculum to discuss strategies to achieve personal and professional success. This event is open to all attendees.
Plenary Abstract Sessions: Top-rated abstracts submitted through the ATC abstract submission process are presented orally with time for questions from the audience at the end of the session.

Rapid Fire Oral Abstract Sessions: Five-minute abstract presentations with Question and Answer at the end of each session. Oral abstracts submitted through the ATC abstract submission process are presented orally with time for questions from the audience at the end of the session. Sessions are designed with specific topic-driven presentations.
