See You in Sydney for ISHLT2027

You’re invited to the ISHLT 47th Annual Meeting & Scientific Sessions (ISHLT2027), which will take place at the International Convention Centre in Sydney, Australia on 14-17 April, 2027, with preconference activities on 13 April.

The ISHLT Annual Meeting is the premier global event for the treatment of advanced heart and lung failure and pulmonary vascular diseases, including cardiothoracic transplantation, mechanical circulatory support, and innovative therapies. ISHLT2027 is hosted by The International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT), a global organization with more than 4,000 members in 55 countries.

In this four-day conference, you’ll share in the latest science and meet with clinicians and researchers from around the world. The meeting is also a jumping off point for ISHLT’s year-round activities, such as practice guideline development, future research and symposia topics, and inter-institutional collaboration. Repeat attendees at ISHLT’s meetings create and deepen relationships with lifelong colleagues and friends.

The future of caring for heart and lung disease is shaped at the ISHLT Annual Meeting. We look forward to seeing you in Sydney for ISHLT2027.
