Launched in 2013, CEoT has established itself as AST’s focused, high-impact winter meeting. Now in its 14th year, CEoT continues to bring together clinical and translational experts from the fields of chronic disease, end-stage organ disease, and solid organ transplantation. This interactive forum is designed to deepen understanding of advances in clinical transplantation, address the challenges of innovation, and explore options for revolutionary change in transplantation.
Recent policy changes have significantly impacted the organ transplant and donation ecosystem, including the HRSA OPTN Modernization Initiative, cuts in research funding for transplantation science, and disruption of the integrated networks that support transplantation, such as downsizing at the Centers for Disease Control and HRSA. The overarching goal of CEoT 2026 is to address these challenges and to explore opportunities to continue improving patient care and expanding clinical and research impact. As indicated by the name, CEoT emphasizes the dissemination of cutting-edge ideas that advance healthcare delivery and expand novel patient-centered initiatives.
