About the event
Transplant administrators from across the country attend the UNOS Transplant Management Forum each year for its educational sessions and networking opportunities. While many of the sessions are geared to transplant administrators, the forum is also an excellent opportunity for clinical and financial coordinators, social workers, OPO executive directors, physicians and surgeons, to enhance their understanding of how a program operates.
Sessions help to increase collaboration between transplant hospitals and OPOs, and to expand transplant professionals’ knowledge of operations, finances, strategies, and more.
About the venue
We have reserved a block of rooms for our attendees, sponsors and exhibitors at The Galt House Hotel. Make your reservations by Friday, April 12, 2024 to secure the group rate of $215.00 plus tax per night. To receive the direct booking link for the hotel block, you must be registered for the meeting. Learn more about the hotel and travel.
Please note: The 150th Kentucky Derby is Saturday, May 4 in Louisville, KY. Due to the national nature of this city-wide event, the hotel block rates secured for TMF attendees begin Monday, May 6 (check-in) and end Saturday, May 10 (check-out).
If you would like to extend your stay in Louisville to include the Kentucky Derby dates that precede the 32nd Annual TMF, you must book additional accommodations outside of the TMF hotel block dates.
