Held on April 22 and 23, 2026, under the theme “Universal Sepsis Care for Newborns, Children, and Women,” the congress brought together healthcare professionals, researchers, policymakers, survivors, and advocates from around the world to advance knowledge and improve outcomes for some of the populations most vulnerable to sepsis.
As always, the congress was completely free to attend and featured live presentations, interactive Q&A sessions, and on-demand access to all sessions following the event.
Among this year’s highlights:
7,824 registrations from more than 150 countries, despite registration being entirely optional
