2014

3smaccGOLD 2014 #smaccGOLD smacc.net.au @smaccteam

smacc2013 was a phenomenal success, attracting almost 700 delegates and widespread acclaim. The conference not only brought together a diverse group of critical care practitioners (Emergency Physicians, intensivists, Anaesthetists, Rural and Pre-Hospital Specialists, Critical Care Nurses and Paramedics) it united the biggest names in online medical blogs and websites from around the world. The meeting was accredited by all the major colleges, including CiCM, ACEM, RACGP, ACRRM and this year we’ll add ANZCA to the list!

in 2014 ‘smaccGOLD’ (named so because the conference is being held on the Gold Coast) will be even better. We are expecting over 1,000 delegates and due to all your feedback from smacc2013, there are more innovations including:

• increased intensive care and Anaesthetic content

• A fourth concurrent session to make your choices even harder

• A huge range of pre-conference workshops (see page 4)

• More big name speakers from around the world

• Live streamed conference material into developing hospitals in Vietnam and Timor

• An expanded smaccBar and Lounge

• Child care facilities on site

• New look simwars and sonowars

• Keynote and delegate free-papers integrated with PK’s in the smaccFORuM

• A huge trade display

The Gold Coast Convention & Exhibition Centre offers state of the art facilities and an arena that feels like it was built for the smacc experience. The surrounding accommodation on Broadbeach is only minutes’ walk from some of Australia’s best beaches.

LocationThe Gold Coast is Australia’s premier tourist destination attracting over 10.5 million overnight and daytrip visitors and approximately 10,000 new residents each year. it is one of the fastest growing cities in Australia and shares the title with Brisbane as one of the most desirable places in the world to live, ranked on political, social, economic and environmental factors, personal safety and health.

Located in south-east Queensland, 1 hour south from the states capital Brisbane, the Gold Coast spans Beenleigh and South Stradbroke island to the north; Cabarita and Kingscliff in the south; and west to Beaudesert and has a steadily growing population of more than 500,000 people.

Families, couples, business delegates and solo travellers will all find an experience to suit their needs at a price to suit their budget, as the Gold Coast offers more attractions and venues than any other destination in the southern hemisphere.

Get into the Gold Coast’s easy living lifestyle with 70 kilometres of sun, sand and surf at your doorstep or 100,000 hectares of world heritage listed rainforest just a short drive away.
