Extend your learning process with ATS 2019’s interactive, hands-on demonstrations, virtual reality experiences, and a variety of Industry Theaters, Practical Workshops, and Guru Bar presentations in the Exhibit Hall.
“The Exhibit Hall will offer many opportunities to expand your learning at ATS 2019,” said Jess Mandel, MD, ATSF, chair of the ATS International Conference Committee. “You can ‘test drive’ a new product through a hands-on demonstration, listen to an expert present the latest data on a new pharmacologic therapy, or engage in a small-group discussion of a clinical challenge at a Guru Bar. Wherever you go, you’ll find exciting innovations and friendly people, whose insights will add to your ATS 2019 experience.”
