Vancouver has a strong pediatric medical fraternity as hosts with a strong interest in pediatric transplantation and we endeavour to entice you indoors with the quality of the research and talks that will be presented at the meeting. The meeting will start on Saturday, May 4 with 2 pre-congress symposiums including a half-day Foundations in Paediatric Transplantation Pre-symposium and a full-day Allied Health Pre-symposium. The main meeting will start in the late afternoon of Saturday, May 4 and will continue for 3 full days closing on Tuesday, May 7. During this time we hope to stimulate thoughts and discussions around the latest developments in all fields of pediatric transplantation by plenary and state of the art lectures, interactive workshops as well as poster and abstract sessions. We plan to have an opening reception as well as a congress networking event to meet old friends and make new acquaintances.
