American Transplant Congress (ATC) 2027

How it compares

The closest broad alternative is ESOT Congress. Its European society network and international program offer another route into transplant medicine, with its next congress explicitly connecting artificial intelligence, robotics, machine perfusion and digital health to human judgment and ethics. ESOT is a useful choice when European collaboration and the changing relationship between clinical teams and technology are central to the trip. ATC concentrates the joint community of the two US transplant societies, while also drawing researchers and clinical professionals from abroad.

A liver program has a more focused option in ILTS Annual Congress. Its agenda brings machine perfusion, transplant oncology, robotic and pediatric transplantation together with liver-specific clinical questions. Workshops in perfusion and anesthesia give that meeting a different emphasis from a congress spanning multiple organs. For a liver specialist seeking a concentrated exchange within that specialty, ILTS makes sense. For a center sending surgeons, nephrologists, pharmacists, procurement colleagues and researchers who need to learn across specialties, ATC offers the more shared setting. The choice rests on the clinical community a team wants to meet and the breadth of its questions, with the exhibition supporting that clinical exchange.

ATC suits transplant programs that want their surgical, medical, laboratory and organ procurement teams in the same scientific conversation.

Who exhibits

CareDx and Alnylam Pharmaceuticals illustrate the meeting’s overlap between diagnostics and drug development, while Bridge to Life brings organ preservation into the exhibition. Biogen sits alongside clinical research providers such as CTI Clinical Trial & Consulting. The American Association of Kidney Patients and American Kidney Fund add the patient perspective. This is a supplier and professional ecosystem around transplant care, with a different purpose from a general hospital equipment fair: the conversations return to the needs of transplant teams.

American Transplant Congress (ATC) 2027

ATC 2027 brings the joint AST and ASTS congress to Seattle with an in-person scientific program and a live exhibition. The program combines oral abstracts and posters with interactive symposia, hot-topic debates, campfire sessions and expert discussions. Accepted research enters the American Journal of Transplantation supplement, connecting the meeting to the societies’ joint journal. Alongside the clinical program, the welcome reception puts exhibitors and scientific posters in the same setting, while the women’s networking event addresses professional and personal development.

• Use Meet the Expert sessions for a difficult question in transplant practice or research: their small-group format centers on conversation.
• Include the exhibit hall welcome reception when your interests bridge scientific posters and organ preservation or diagnostic suppliers; both occupy the reception setting.
• The joint AST and ASTS women’s networking event creates a separate conversation about professional development beyond the scientific curriculum.

Exhibiting

A booth puts a supplier into a meeting shared by surgeons, physicians, pharmacists and procurement colleagues. ATC also offers private hard-walled meeting rooms and product theaters for more focused discussions. Booth packages include exhibitor badges and listing in the congress app and floor plan; the service examples make clear that furniture, carpet and freight handling need their own budget. This suits companies whose products or services answer a specific transplant-care need.
