The SMACC experience begins long before the conference starts, with a

registered delegate function on the website that allows you to become part of

smacc-networks. The networks cater to academic, social, artistic, sporting

and lifestyle interests and are aimed at bringing delegates together. Utilising

dating site technology you can find new friends from the world-wide critical

care community who share your interests. You may want to talk shop or to get

a group together to perhaps visit a museum, go for a run together or go to a

Chicago Cubs game.

Once you check into The SMACC Hotel, Sheraton Towers, you will

immediately be drawn into the SMACC festival experience. The pre-

conference workshops will be held at the Sheraton and it will be an off-

campus SMACC hub with daily bus transfers to McCormick Place.

Finally registration for the conference is fully inclusive of all coffee breaks, lunch

and both the Welcome Reception and the Gala Dinner. This will create ample

time to network with colleagues and soak up the atmosphere.

The SMACC Gold Conference in 2014 not only brought together a diversegroup of critical care practitioners (Emergency Physicians / Intensivists /

Anaesthetists / Rural and Pre-Hospital Specialists / Critical Care Nurses and

Paramedics) it united the biggest names from FOAM websites from around

the world.

In June 2015 SMACC Chicago will be even better.

You spoke and we listened

Intensive care and Anaesthetic content for Critical Care

A fifth concurrent session to make your choices even harder

SMACC Gold content is currently being released. If you havent got into the
