The 4th World Sepsis Congress is a free online congress addressing all aspects of sepsis. Over the course of two days and 16 highly relevant and diverse sessions, the congress will feature more than 85 speakers from more than 35 countries speaking on all aspects of sepsis, including the link to pandemics and AMR, the role of AI, ML, big data, patient safety, the impact of policy, novel trial design, the latest research, and much more.

This free online congress is designed for healthcare workers, healthcare providers and funders, healthcare authorities, policymakers, patient families, survivors, and industry professionals.

Don't miss this opportunity to gain insights and knowledge from the world's leading sepsis experts. Register now and be part of this global effort to improve sepsis outcomes for patients everywhere! For more information on the program, speakers, and time zones, and to register for free, please visit worldsepsiscongress.org.

We are excited to announce that we will be able to offer CME credits for the 4th World Sepsis Congress – if that doesn’t convince you to register, we are not sure what will…Besides the fact that it’s free of charge, fully virtual, and we have an amazing line-up of over 85 speakers presenting on all areas of sepsis.

What are you waiting for? The 4th WSC takes place in less than a week, on April 25 and 26, 2023, and you can join for free from wherever you have an internet connection.

Pro tip: If you can’t make it next week, just register anyway and we will send you the links to the recordings once available.

Sepsis and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) are closely linked: broad-spectrum antimicrobials are often the first line of defense in treating patients with sepsis, but limiting unnecessary antimicrobial usage is crucial for combatting the growing threat of AMR. As antimicrobial resistance worsens, more infections will develop into sepsis, sepsis cases will become increasingly difficult to treat, and more sepsis patients will suffer harmful consequences, including amputations and death. To manage this complex clinical relationship, address the global threat of AMR, and improve future outcomes, cross-sector collaborations and ongoing innovation and education will be essential.

The Sepsis Alliance AMR Conference, starting on April 26 at 10:30 EST, 16:30 CET, offers to discover inspiration, ideas, and applicable technologies for both managing sepsis and mitigating the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance.

Speakers and program will be available soon.

On April 14-16, CUGH2023 – titled “Global Health at a Crossroads: Equity, Climate Change, and Microbial Threats” – will take place in Washington and virtually, bringing together over 2,000 scientists, students, and implementers from academia, NGOs, government, and the private sector.

A wide range of medical and non-medical disciplines are represented throughout the virtual and in-person pre-conference satellite sessions from April 3-7, (free to attend, register online) and the April 14-16 conference. Attendees will be inspired and challenged to learn new skills, gain new contacts, and find ways we can improve the health of people and the planet.

CUGH2023 is organized in conjunction with the World Health Summit Regional Meeting 2023 and the AAHCI Global Innovation Forum 2023.

Update March 23, 2023: The recording is now available, embedded below.

Join ESA Patron Vytenis Andriukaitis and other high-level speakers for the 6th Annual Meeting of the ESA. This year, we will discuss with policymakers, experts, and sepsis survivors what it takes to integrate sepsis into the broader picture of European health policies. Panelists and participants will reflect on the importance of including sepsis (research, education, awareness, treatment, and patient support) in strategies and initiatives on infection prevention and control, AMR, pandemic preparedness, and patient safety and discuss how European institutions and agencies can support member states.

If you can’t/couldn’t make it live, the recording will be available on the ESA website later this week.
