This May, the 2025 American Thoracic Society Conference is set to become the defining global event for respiratory healthcare. Drawing more than 14,000 specialists from over 100 countries, this premier event fosters groundbreaking collaboration across pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine. From transformative clinical trials to cutting-edge AI applications, ATS 2025 promises to reshape how we approach respiratory health.

The Global Epicenter of Respiratory Science

Recognized as the gold standard for respiratory events, the American Thoracic Society International Conference remains a powerhouse for innovation. With its robust mix of scientific presentations, hands-on workshops, and interdisciplinary networking, ATS serves as the key bridge between lab discoveries and real-world clinical practice. Whether you’re a frontline physician or a research scientist, the event delivers unparalleled access to the future of respiratory care.

This year’s theme, “Driving Innovation Through Collaboration,” underscores the dynamic partnerships driving change in respiratory medicine. From bench to bedside, stakeholders are co-creating solutions that elevate patient outcomes and enhance healthcare delivery.

2025 Highlights: A Showcase of Progress

Breakthrough Clinical Trials

The late-breaking clinical trials sessions are a focal point. Attendees can expect pivotal data on asthma biologics, new antifibrotic agents for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), advanced therapies for pulmonary hypertension, and non-invasive solutions for sleep-disordered breathing. These findings are expected to redefine treatment paradigms across subspecialties.

Artificial Intelligence in Action

AI’s transformative role in respiratory care is front and center. Highlights include improved diagnostic accuracy in chest imaging, smart ventilation in ICU settings, and predictive analytics for clinical deterioration—all with a special focus on accessibility in underserved regions.

Climate and Respiratory Health

Given the increasing health burden of climate change, several sessions are dedicated to its respiratory implications. Discussions will cover pollution-induced asthma exacerbations, wildfire smoke effects, and strategies to safeguard at-risk communities.

Pediatric Advancements

Specialized pediatric tracks explore precision medicine for rare lung diseases, emerging therapies in cystic fibrosis beyond CFTR modulators, and updated sleep evaluation protocols tailored to children.
