WADEM Congress on Disaster and Emergency Medicine
9-12 May 2023
Killarney Convention Centre
Please join WADEM from 9-12 May 2023 in beautiful Killarney, Ireland, as we host our first in-person Congress in four years! After a pandemic-induced pause following the Brisbane Congress, the 22nd edition of the WADEM Congress aims to provide another engaging and dynamic experience in one of the most scenic parts of the Emerald Isle.
With a theme of “Complexity and Continuity: Caring, Coping, and Overcoming in an Increasingly Challenging World,” the scientific program will explore innovation and best practices globally in disaster medicine, prehospital care, and the health aspects of emergency management and complex humanitarian crises.
Building on the collective experiences in the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic response, there will be a specific focus on understanding emerging threats, their impact on our current and future communities, as well as the important role of technology in our preparedness and response efforts. Registration and accommodation are open!
