Affiliate Events
ATC understands the value of having a large number of specialists in one place and we offer the opportunity for universities, government agencies, non-profit and corporate/industry groups to organize and independently plan non-educational events over the course of the American Transplant Congress. There is a non-refundable administrative fee for each approved application.
All affiliate events must be approved by ATC and approval will be based on the regulations outlined below and listed here.
For questions, please contact Melanie Ryan, mryan@atcmeeting.org.

The schedule of the Congress is developed to maximize attendees’ participation in ATC’s scientific program and exhibits.
