Have lunch while listening to the latest clinical updates from supporting companies related to pulmonary, critical care, or sleep medicine. Daily Industry Theaters and Mini Theaters are available today, Monday, and Tuesday in the Exhibit Hall. All include a complimentary boxed lunch provided by the ATS (while quantities last).
Take in Non-CME Industry Symposia
The ATS encourages Non-CME Industry Symposia in conjunction with the International Conference. All full-conference participants are encouraged to attend these programs.
Catch up with Your Global Colleagues
International and national attendees can catch up, and meet thoracic and respiratory society officers and members from around the world at the Global Community in the Exhibit Hall and the International Participants Center in Room 104 A-B (100 Level) Pennsylvania Convention Center, which will host the Reception for International Participants at 4:15 p.m. Tuesday.
Faculty Reminded of COI Disclosure
In addition to completing a preconference disclosure questionnaire, the ATS requires that all faculty speaking at CME-accredited International Conference sessions prepare and show conflict of interest disclosure slides at the beginning of their presentations. These slides ensure that the ATS complies with Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education requirements for disclosure to learners.
Science and Innovation Center Geared to Basic, Translational Researchers
On the heels of its popular debut last year, the Science and Innovation Center will return with interactive sessions by experts on a variety of topics of interest to researchers and scientists, including Gary H. Gibbons, MD, director of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.
