Attending your first Critical Care Congress? Read on for some tips and tricks on navigating the meeting without becoming overwhelmed.
 

The Society of Critical Care Medicine's (SCCM) Critical Care Congress gives you a unique opportunity to expand not only your knowledge but also your critical care community so that, as a team, we can continue to provide the highest-quality care to our patients. But how do you navigate the event without becoming overwhelmed? Here are some tips based on my first SCCM Congress experience.

Share your Congress tips and lifehacks across social media using #SCCM2024!

It’s Sunday morning, day 1 of your first Critical Care Congress. You walk up to the registration kiosk and print your badge, ready to learn from experts in critical care. You grab some ribbons to affix to your badge and some of the free goodies available near the kiosks.

 You start to plan your schedule on the SCCM Events App by favoriting sessions to make it easier to claim accredited continuing education for your future. While reviewing hundreds of sessions, you notice the Connections Central map. It’s filled with the newest and greatest technologies in all things critical care. Also woven throughout the exhibit booths are Research Snapshot Theaters, where more than 1200 abstracts and case reports will be presented throughout the event.
