LOOKING BACK ON WORLD SEPSIS CONGRESS 2021 – AN INNOVATIVE V IRTUAL 2-DAY GLOBAL EVENT On April 21-22, 2021, close to 20,000 physicians, healthcare workers, policymakers, representatives of the industry, and members of the public came together for the largest scientific meeting on sepsis ever – the fully virtual and free World Sepsis Congress 2021, titled Advancing Prevention, Survival, and Survivorship of Sepsis and COVID-19.
Over the course of two days and 15 diverse and highly relevant sessions, over 90 speakers from more than 30 countries gave trenchant talks on all aspects of sepsis; from the impact of policy, the role of artificial intelligence and big data, patient safety, and long-term sequelae through to novel trial design, the latest research, and much more. In addition to presentations from clinicians, researchers, policymakers, and other interesting stakeholders, the congress also featured multiple panel discussions, including survivors of sepsis and COVID-19 as well as a diverse panel of healthcare workers, made up of those working, living, and driving change in high-income and in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). All sessions have been recorded and are being released for free on YouTube and as a podcast over the coming weeks – the full release schedule is available on the congress website, as is the programme and background on all speakers.
