The Emergency Medicine Symposium, led by emergency physicians, strives to create a collegial atmosphere that encourages lively discussions and the exchange of concepts relevant to clinicians practising in metropolitan, regional, and tertiary Emergency departments.
We take immense pride in our efforts to assemble a world-class academic program that remains both relevant and engaging for practising Emergency Physicians. Our conference fosters a bidirectional learning environment, promoting mutual growth and knowledge sharing.
A central focus of our symposium is applying evidence-based medicine to real-life patient care. We emphasize practicality over novelty, ensuring that the latest research and validated methods are seamlessly integrated into daily clinical practice. Our commitment is to enhance patient outcomes and improve the efficiency of emergency departments through practical and proven approaches.

Da Nang, Between Moments
And beyond the symposium—
Follow the scent of lotus blossoms through ancient temples, where incense curls in quiet rhythm and time seems to slow. Sip tea poured with care in sun-dappled courtyards. Wander barefoot where the Han River meets the sea, watching fishing boats drift like passing thoughts.
Da Nang doesn’t just offer rest—it invites reflection.
In a world that rarely pauses, this city teaches presence, stillness, and the art of being fully, intentionally here.
Every Voice Matters - Grateful for Every Bit of Feedback.
As a first-timer to this conference, what struck me most was the inclusive, relaxed, welcoming vibe that really complemented the academic program. It is so much easier to remain engaged and to learn when you feel comfortable speaking up, asking questions, or providing opinions. Thank you for creating such an atmosphere!
The fact that by attending this conference, we were able to assist in a very worthwhile cause in Sri Lanka was such a bonus, and I want to congratulate the organisers for their amazing efforts both in organising the conference and in their quest for equity for people/communities.
I thoroughly enjoyed the week and know that I will be back to attend another Emergency Medicine Symposium.

The Emergency Medicine Symposium is a conference that is a notch above because it is a smaller and more intimate way to learn, reflect, and connect with like-minded people. And always in a superb destination! Already looking forward to the next one!

This was such an amazing conference… relevant EM topics. It was great to see children were welcome in this, makes such a difference (even though mine is much older already). Will look forward to the future conferences.
