The 34th Annual ITNS Symposium

Where Compassion Meets Innovation: Bringing the World of Transplant Nursing Together   

September 25-27, 2026  

We invite you to join us on the beautiful shores of Lake Erie in Cleveland, Ohio for an agenda packed with original nursing and allied health presentations highlighting the many contributions nurses make to care of transplant patients around the world.  Presenters from four continents will gather with transplant nursing professionals to share cutting-edge research, explore emerging pharmacological treatments, and discuss technological advances in organ donation and graft survival. Attendees will engage in innovative sessions designed to enhance patient care standards and promote evidence-based practices on an international scale.

This will be an event you don't want to miss!  

Join us at the Huntington Convention Center of Cleveland just a quick walk across the street from the Cleveland Marriott Downtown Hotel where ITNS has reserved a block of rooms at a discounted rate for attendees. We will truly be in “the heart of it all,” just steps away from dozens of exceptional restaurants, museums, theaters, and concert venues. Explore "The Land" now!
