Submissions are now being accepted for ISHLT2027 Symposium Proposals. ISHLT members are welcome to submit 75-minute symposia proposals to the ISHLT 47th Annual Meeting & Scientific Sessions, to be held 14-17 April, 2027 in Sydney, NSW Australia.

Review the ISHLT2027 Symposium Proposal Submission Guidelines for helpful tips on structuring your proposal and suggested topics organized by Interdisciplinary Network (Heart, Lung, MCS, and PVD). 

The deadline for receipt of all proposals is Monday, 22 June, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. ET / 13:00 UTC.

The Program Planning Committee highly recommends consulting with the relevant Interdisciplinary Network (IDN) Steering Committee before submission.  These groups can offer helpful guidance on educational priorities for the Annual Meeting. You can find the list of current IDN leadership groups here.

You are also encouraged to engage in discussions about potential topics via the PC and IDN forums on the ISHLTconnect platform. Log in to ISHLTconnect here.

Key Considerations for ISHLT2027 Symposium Development
  • Asia-Pacific Representation
    • Every symposium proposal should include at least one speaker/moderator from the Asia-Pacific region.
    • Asia-Pacific non-members may be included as long as they are appropriate candidates for ISHLT membership.
  • Feature the 3Gs in Faculty Representation
    • Geography
    • Gender balance
    • Generational mix (early career, mid-career, senior leaders)
  • 75 minutes in duration, with up to 60 minutes of presentation time and a minimum of 15 minutes dedicated to audience discussion and Q&A. 
  • Include the collaborative, global, and multidisciplinary spirit of ISHLT and bring together perspectives from multiple Professional Communities (PCs). 
To be eligible to submit a Symposia Proposal, you must:
  • Be an ISHLT member in good standing.
  • Not be an owner or employee of an ACCME-defined ineligible company.
  • Be a member of at least one ISHLT Professional Community.
