What happened to the TTS 2020 Congress in Seoul?

The TTS Executive Committee and the Korean Society for Transplantation continued to monitor COVID-19 and the global effect. Our primary concern is for the health and wellbeing of our delegates, exhibitors, staff, and the wider community. We have therefore concluded that a physical meeting in Seoul in September 2020 would not be prudent.

Is TTS 2020 cancelled?

No. We are excited at the prospect of bringing you a virtual congress in September 2020 – one that will feature the most advanced scientific and clinical practices, as well as the most up-to-date developments on COVID-19.
