13th International Conference on Emergency Medicine (ICEM 2010)

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you and all Emergency Medicine colleagues to the 13th International Conference on Emergency Medicine to be held in Singapore from 9 - 12 June 2010.

The International Conference on Emergency Medicine (ICEM 2010) is the biennial conference of the International Federation for Emergency Medicine (IFEM). ICEM 2010 is organised by the Society for Emergency Medicine in Singapore.

This is the first time the world’s premier truly international conference in Emergency Medicine is being held in Singapore or anywhere in Asia. The scientific programme will cover multiple aspects of emergency medical care practiced in different environments around the world. Topics will be presented through state-of-the-art lectures, symposia, panel discussions, workshops, free communications and poster presentations. The conference will document lessons learnt and transmit these to all interested groups for continuing development of the ideas created during the meeting. We will also have a trade exhibition to display the latest in systems, pharmaceuticals and equipment relevant to Emergency Care.

ICEM 2010 will be an excellent opportunity for networking, renewing old ties and making new friends. With more than 60 national EM organisations participating, ICEM 2010 will truly be an exceptional international event.

The Organising Committee has come up with a scientific programme which is exciting, productive and a major learning event for both academicians and clinicians. It will offer the best in the world of Emergency Medicine - the largest group of opinion leaders, industry giants and providers of Emergency Services at a single venue. This will provide a platform for excellent scientific and international networking at the highest level.

With more than 4,000 expected participants, there are many advantages for trade companies to get involved in this major event and expand into new geographical areas to reach a wider group of scientists and practicing emergency clinicians.

Singapore is one of the smallest, yet most beautiful, countries in the world. It is almost “Heaven on Earth”. Well-connected to all corners of the globe and affordable to all, this island is also the gateway to the wonders, pleasures and experiences of South-East Asia and the Far East.

We look forward to welcoming you to Singapore and making your participation in ICEM 2010 an opportunity to create partnerships for years to come with many like-minded people.

Let us work together to make ICEM 2010 a great success. With all your participation let us move with the Conference theme: EMERGENCY MEDICINE: THE WORLD MOVES FORWARD.

Yours Sincerely,
