ACEP Scientific Assembly

The largest Emergency Medicine conference; great networking event. The educational sessions are excellent; but this is a very large conference. Make sure you register for the sessions you’re interested in well in advance. Wear comfortable shoes, you’ll often be walking long distances between sessions. With COVID-19, this conference will be on-line in 2020.

Government Services Symposium

Annual conference for the Government Services Chapter of ACEP. The conference brings together Active Duty, Reservists, Guard, VA and other Government Services EM physicians to discuss the latest advances in military medicine and beyond. Small conference, great for networking within Government Services. Great conference to break into speaking engagements.

Essentials of EM

The most fun and informative EM conference I have attended. The conference content is delivered in one room, and many of the sessions are short, < 15 minutes. The content is focused and appeals to the EM mindset. There are entertaining breaks, including musical performances and comedic interludes. I stayed awake, comfortable and left much sharper and inspired.
