SMACC (Social Media and Critical Care) Gold was a phenomenal success, attracting almost 1300 delegates and doubling in size in only its second year. The decision to take SMACC internationally, to Chicago, is the next step in this exciting experience.
The SMACC Gold conference not only brought together a diverse group of critical care practitioners (Emergency Physicians / Intensivists / Anaesthetists / Rural and Pre-Hospital Specialists / Critical Care Nurses and Paramedics) it united the biggest names in online medical blogs and websites from around the world.
In June 2015 ‘SMACC Chicago’ will be even better. We are expecting over 2500 delegates and in response to your feedback from 2014 there is more:
- Intensive Care and Anaesthetic content for critical care
- A fifth concurrent session to make your choices even harder
- More critical care Paediatrics
- A huge range of pre-conference workshops
- More big name speakers from around the world
- An expanded SMACC Bar and lounge
- Child care facilities on site
- Sonowars reborn
- A huge exhibition hall where lunch and tea breaks are provided FREE to delegates – to enhance the networking opportunities
The McCormick Place Convention Centre in Chicago offers state of the art facilities and a theatre that feels like it was built for the SMACC experience. There is accommodation onsite and surrounding accommodation in the heart of Chicago is only a few minutes by bus.
SMACC Chicago is a not for profit venture and all the content will be recorded and released in serial fashion as part of FOAM in the same way as the SMACC Gold content is currently being released.
We can’t wait to see you all in Chicago from 23 – 26 June 2015.
