Annual Conference

TRIO hosts an annual conference where candidates, recipients, donors, their families, and health care professionals meet and discuss issues pertinent to organ, tissue, and bone marrow transplantation. TRIO's 2005 annual conference was held in Jacksonville, FL April 29-May 1, 2005. In September of 2008, the TRIO Conference is in St. Louis, held in conjunction with the ITNS Conference. In recent years, the annual conference has been renamed as the TRIO Leadership Summit and held in such places as Phildelphia, PA, Washington, DC and for the 25th anniversary year celebration, in Pittsburgh, PA, the birthplace of TRIO back in 1987. Note that videos of the summit workshops are available for viewing under Resoruces on this web site.
