The SA Thoracic Society & The Allergy Society of SA Congress

We are pleased to announce that the SATS/ALLSA Congress 2025 will be held at the newly renovated Indaba Hotel Conference Centre in Johannesburg from 21 to 24 August 2025.

Offering cost-effective onsite accommodation, ample high-traffic exhibition spaces, and complimentary parking, the venue ensures a convenient and comfortable experience for all attendees. Its prime location, near major highways, provides easy access to both airports, with Lanseria Airport only 15–20 minutes away (19km) and O.R Thambo International 40 minutes (38km) away.

For the first time, we are including a critical care programme together with surgical and pulmonology programs. The sessions are carefully structured alongside other tracks to avoid conflict of choice between two simultaneously appealing sessions.

Achieving a healthy work-life balance is always a challenge, and with that in mind, we aim to make the most of the beautiful 42-acre garden venue. In addition to enjoying the tranquil setting, leisure-related suppliers will be present to display their products in these open spaces, offering a welcome opportunity to unwind.

We’ve taken your feedback from previous congresses into account, and we’re confident this year’s format will exceed expectations. The 2025 SATS Pulmonology track promises an engaging three-day program, including hands-on workshops the day before including EBUS and advanced thoracic sonography. Renowned international and local experts will present a comprehensive ICU track covering ECMO for pulmonologists, alongside discussions on connective tissue lung disease and updates on targeted therapies for asthma, COPD, pulmonary hypertension, and bronchiectasis.
