Welcome
We are excited to welcome you to WFPICCS 2026, the 13th World Congress of the World Federation of Pediatric Intensive & Critical Care Societies (WFPICCS), held in conjunction with the ANZICS ACCCN Intensive Care Annual Scientific Meeting at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre from 26 to 30 September 2026.
This landmark event brings together the WFPICCS Congress and the ANZICS ACCCN Intensive Care ASM into one major international gathering. The 2026 Congress and ASM will be a key highlight on the global intensive care calendar, uniting physicians, nurses, and allied health professionals working across both paediatric and adult critical care.
The scientific program will feature world-renowned keynote speakers, cutting-edge research, and a diverse range of sessions spanning clinical care, education, innovation, and global health. Designed for multidisciplinary collaboration, this event will offer invaluable opportunities to share knowledge, build networks, and explore future directions in intensive and critical care.
WFPICCS 2026 will not only offer a rich educational and scientific experience but also an exciting social program to enjoy Melbourne’s culture, cuisine, and hospitality. We warmly invite you to join us for this dynamic and impactful event as a delegate, speaker, sponsor, or exhibitor.
We look forward to welcoming you to Melbourne in 2026.
