Orange County Convention Center, West Hall | Orlando, FL | May 17–20, 2026
The ATS International Conference 2026 once again brought together thousands of professionals committed to advancing respiratory health, critical care, and pulmonary medicine. With packed schedules, educational sessions, and nonstop networking opportunities, creating comfortable spaces for attendees becomes an important part of the overall event experience.
As one of the NOOK Event Pods® valued medical event partners, the team at ATS created a thoughtful and highly functional setup by arranging a convenient row of portable meeting pods throughout the event.
Positioned for easy access, the pods quickly became a destination for attendees looking to step away for a moment while remaining connected to the event. Whether catching up on work between sessions, taking a meeting, responding to emails, or simply finding a quieter place to focus, attendees appreciated having comfortable spaces integrated directly into the conference environment.
This setup highlights one of the strongest use cases for NOOK Event Pods® at medical and educational conferences: providing choice in how attendees engage with the event experience.
Benefits of incorporating portable meeting space include:
- Giving attendees places to work between sessions
- Creating quiet areas without requiring dedicated meeting rooms
- Encouraging longer time spent on the show floor
- Supporting attendee comfort and overall event satisfaction
Simple additions like these make a meaningful difference in helping attendees balance education, networking, and productivity during multi-day conferences. We’re grateful to continue partnering with the American Thoracic Society and look forward to supporting even more innovative event experiences in the future.
