ATS 2027 Industry Programs, Sponsorships, Branding, and Advertising Opportunities

Our team is excited to let you know that plans are well underway for ATS 2027, taking place May 14–19, 2027, in New Orleans, Louisiana.

What does ATS 2027 look like? We are excited to announce that the ATS 2027 International Conference is convening LIVE and in person next May, with online content available on demand shortly after the conference.

As the world evolves, so does the ATS, but what remains constant is ATS 2027 showcasing your breakthrough innovations in respiratory science and patient care.

ATS offers a wide range of opportunities to fit the needs of all industry partners, both well established and new. Review the upcoming launch dates to ensure you have the earliest access to first-come, first-served opportunities as they become available.

All opportunities are contracted through the ATS Corporate & Strategic Alliances Team or TriStar Event Media, our advertising agency.
