The ATS International Conference is the world’s most important respiratory, critical care, and sleep medicine conference, bringing together thousands of clinicians, researchers, and health care professionals from around the world. As planning begins for ATS 2027 in New Orleans, we invite the ATS community to help shape the scientific program by submitting a session proposal.

ATS members’ expertise and insights are critical in shaping the discussions and education that define the ATS International Conference. The Society welcomes proposals across all areas of respiratory medicine, including clinical practice, basic science, translational research, and emerging technologies. Whether the aim is to lead an engaging symposium, host a skills-based postgraduate course, or present an expert seminar, ATS community contributions can help advance the field and educate colleagues from across the global respiratory community.

Session proposals will be accepted for the following categories:

Pre-Conference (Friday and Saturday):

• Full-Day Skills-Based Postgraduate Course
• Full-Day Didactic Postgraduate Course
• Half-Day Didactic Postgraduate Course
• Half-Day Skills-Based Postgraduate Course

Conference (Sunday–Wednesday):

• Scientific Symposium
• Meet-the-Expert Seminar

This is an opportunity to influence the future of pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine while gaining recognition as a thought leader in the field! Submit session proposals at conference.thoracic.org by Wednesday, June 24, to help shape the program for ATS 2027 New Orleans!
