IPTA is a professional association that brings together colleagues through its council, committees, journal editors, and international congresses. The organization supports a global membership and encourages members to participate in its committees, fostering connections and collaboration across its community. Its 12th Congress, held in Austin in 2023, welcomed more than 450 registrants from 40 countries, while the association reported a membership of over 900.

IPTA’s congress program offers educational and professional activities, including invited-speaker sessions, corporate symposia, trainee and allied health symposia, and research presentations in oral, mini-oral, and poster formats. The event also features mentoring, awards, social gatherings, and opportunities to connect with sponsors, exhibitors, collaborating societies, and children’s hospitals. Practical resources include registration and hotel information, venue and travel guidance, program details, and access to a web app, recordings, abstracts, and event photos. Through its meetings and the ongoing work of its leadership and committees, IPTA provides a forum for learning, professional exchange, and community participation.
