17th World Congress of Intensive & Critical Care

The 17th World Congress of Intensive and Critical Care is taking a sustainable approach! We aim to reflect Vancouver’s green initiatives and natural beauty to minimize our environmental impact and commitment to sustainability. This means embracing eco-friendly practices at every stage – from reducing waste, sourcing sustainable materials, and encouraging green transportation. By incorporating these practices, our goal is to create a more sustainable event and inspire others to adopt greener practices in their own events, fostering a positive impact on the community and the planet. This Congress is being held in Vancouver, British Columbia. In the spirit of Truth, Reconciliation, Friendship, and Reciprocity, we would like to acknowledge that we are on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the Coast Salish peoples, including the territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lō and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. This place is a testament to the enduring presence and resilience of Indigenous Peoples, and we honour their deep connection to these lands and waters.
