ATC 2021 Announces Virtual Connect

As of November 30, 2020

Dear Colleagues,
 
In light of the ever-evolving COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on travel and safety, the ASTS, AST and ATC leadership teams have decided the ATC meeting scheduled to take place in Seattle, WA will transition to a fully-virtual experience to be held June 5 - 9, 2021.

Over the past year during the pandemic, there have been major strides and positive advancements in research and science. The evolutions have been cutting-edge and the developments have occurred so quickly, but we must remain realistic in keeping everyone safe while delivering the exceptional program that is the ATC.

The health and safety of all ATC participants and staff, along with their family members, co-workers and patients, continue to remain our top priority and we’d like to thank you for your support as we plan our next virtual meeting.
