MAY 5-8, 2027 - MONTREAL, CANADA

Welcome to ILTS 2027!

We are honoured to invite you to the ILTS 2027 Annual Congress — the world’s premier meeting dedicated to advancing the science and practice of liver transplantation — taking place in the vibrant city of  Montreal, Canada, May 5–8, 2027.

Under the theme “Advancing the Future of Liver Transplantation Through Innovation and Precision,” this year’s Congress charts a bold course forward — grounded in science, driven by innovation, and shaped by the collective ambition of our global community. ILTS 2027 is where breakthrough science converges with real-world clinical impact — a global gathering of the transplant community united by a single purpose: transforming patient outcomes through discovery, collaboration, and excellence.

The scientific program will span the full spectrum of liver transplantation, shining a spotlight on the innovations defining the field’s future: machine perfusion, transplant oncology, robotic transplantation, pediatric transplantation, MASLD and the emerging role of artificial intelligence in clinical practice. Landmark complex cases will challenge and inspire, while immersive, hands-on workshops in machine perfusion and anaesthesia will equip participants to translate new knowledge directly into practice.

A comprehensive postgraduate course will precede the Congress, offering essential, foundational training for the next generation of transplant professionals — ensuring the field’s future is in the best possible hands. The Pre-meeting symposium will also provide a sneak peak into the scientific offerings at the main congress. 

ILTS 2027 is more than a scientific meeting. It is the multidisciplinary global platform where the future of liver transplantation is actively shaped — where international collaboration sparks new ideas, and where connections made today drive the breakthroughs of tomorrow.

We warmly invite you to join us in Montreal for what promises to be the most inspiring and forward-looking ILTS Congress in liver transplantation.
