In the Spotlight

Welcome to ISHLT2019! A Message from Your Program Chair, Lara Danziger-Isakov

Lara Danziger-Isakov, MD, MPH

As our 2019 Annual Meeting is about to kick-off, it is an honor to welcome you to the Society’s 39th Annual Meeting and Scientific Sessions.

I hope you are looking forward as much as I am to an exciting week of rich discussions, healthy debates, and connections with colleagues old and new. We will build on the success of the 2018 Nice Meeting by kicking off with the Opening Plenary today, followed by Symposia and Oral Abstract Sessions throughout the week. We organized the meeting to make the best use of your time by clustering content and adding standardized times for all sessions. Read more

Today's Highlights

Five Tips to Make the Most of #ISHLT2019

  1. Download the app. It has everything you need to navigate the meeting including real-time alerts. Here’s how. (Remember to accept updates when prompted so you’ll get the latest news.)
  2. Plan your day. Our Program Viewer is the BEST way to map out which sessions you’ll go to. It’s on the App! Or, find it here on our website.
  3. Get fueled. Look for our morning coffee stations in the Grand Caribbean Foyer today through Friday and also in the Pacifica Foyer Thursday through Saturday. Take advantage of the food with our coffee breaks – and, of course, wine and cheese in the Exhibit Hall from 5:45 to 7 tonight and Thursday.
  4. Stay up-to-date. Read the Daily Pulse! We’ll have highlights of key sessions as well as a look ahead. Look for an email every evening with the latest news.
  5. Make connections. There are so many opportunities to network at #ISHLT2019. Try the Council Networking Receptions

In Brief

#SpreadTheWord: Your Official Guide to Twitter at #ISHLT2019

Help us share the amazing work presented at #ISHLT2019 – not to mention the fun! – by engaging with us on Twitter. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

  • Hashtag that! When writing about anything meeting-related, use our official hashtag: #ISHLT2019.
  • Speaker tags. When discussing someone’s work, remember to tag them with their username. For example, if I wanted to tag the ISHLT president in this post, I’d insert @ISHLTPres since that’s his user name. (Remember the @ before the name.)
  • Link to the work. People always want more, so feel free to link to the abstracts.
  • Retweet your peers. Keep the conversation going by sharing the love.
  • Be kind and respectful. Goes without saying, but – tweet unto others as you would have them tweet unto you.
