Out of concern for the health and safety of our community during the surging pandemic, STS will convert its 58th Annual Meeting from an in-person event in Miami to a virtual event. In taking this difficult but necessary step, we thoughtfully considered input, data, and guidance from a variety of sources, as well as reports from members on the front line. Although disappointing that, once again, we will not be together in person, this is the most prudent decision given the information we have today.

The good news is that STS 2022 will go on as a live, 2-day, virtual meeting to be held January 29-30. The program will be shorter, but retain key elements, including the latest ground-breaking research, thought-provoking plenaries, and valuable industry symposia. We are confident in our ability to deliver high-quality, engaging content for all participants. The revised program is in development and will be shared shortly.

You may register for the virtual-only conference on the STS 58th Annual Registration website.

Please visit the STS website for a full breakdown of meeting registration fees.

STS’s official registration and housing provider has canceled your hotel reservation on your behalf. In the event you already have been charged a deposit by your hotel, the Society will work with the hotel to secure a refund; however, in most cases, deposits have not been charged. Note that it may take 5-7 business days for hotel refunds to process. Should you have any questions about a hotel deposit refund, contact meetings@sts.org.

Unfortunately, all hotel reservations will be cancelled since they were specifically part of the STS meeting, and you will have to rebook your hotel at the current rate on the hotel's website.
