Make plans now to kick off your ATS 2022 International Conference experience by attending the Annual ATS Research Program Benefit, which will be held on Saturday, May 14, from 6-7:30 p.m. PT at the Marriott Marquis San Francisco.

After two years of virtual meetings, this “Welcome Home” reception and fundraiser is a great opportunity to celebrate the return to an in-person meeting with friends and colleagues from around the world and show your support for the ATS Research Program.

The biggest networking event at ATS 2022, this year’s Research Program Benefit will be less formal than past events, giving attendees more time to socialize while enjoying light refreshments.

“It’s a nice synergy between a great opportunity to meet people and network and to catch up with old friends at the same time you’re supporting research,” said ATS Chief Executive Officer Karen J. Collishaw, MPP, CAE.

While the event has evolved, the mission remains the same, and each ticket still includes a tax-deductible donation to the ATS Research Program, which goes directly to supporting early career scientists. So, don’t wait — make plans now to join your colleagues and show your support for the ATS Research Program.

For more information about ways to support the ATS and the Research Program, be sure to stop by the ATS 2022 Donor Appreciation Lounge, which will be located in Room 159 (South Building, Upper Mezzanine) of the Moscone Center and open daily during the conference.
