Receptions and Networking Events

SCCM’s specialty sections are invited to connect in the networking room. Section leaders may present on specialty-specific topics or plan other engagement opportunities for section members. Section reception sponsors are invited to speak and distribute drink tickets before any session supported by the corresponding section.

Tailored for early-career professionals, such as residents, fellows, postdoctoral researchers, clinicians in training, and early-career faculty, this event gathers attendees to enjoy cocktails and light appetizers while engaging in conversations with like-minded peers and established leaders in the field. Over 135 people attended in 2024.

First-time attendees gather to receive tips on making the most of their Congress experience, enjoy light refreshments, and engage with leaders in the critical care field.
