34th Annual Congress – Digital
LIVES, 03-06 October 2021, Digital
ESICM’s annual congress, LIVES, attracts audiences of over 6,000 physicians, anaesthetists, trainees and nursing and allied health professionals, every year, from every continent. Last year, due to the pandemic, we adapted the format for LIVES 2020 and produced a fully digital experience that was both creative and interactive, whilst delivering the highest level of scientific content, hot topics, research, debate and expert opinion.
Our diverse faculty of more than 320 international speakers delivered more than 30h and 367 live presentations as well as 90h and 365 on-demand presentations.
To ensure that everyone can participate, despite the ongoing challenges of the pandemic, LIVES 2021 will also be a digital event. It will represent a unique opportunity to join a network of colleagues from every part of the world and discover the latest groundbreaking science in intensive care medicine.
LIVES 2021 will offer discussion and debates, abstract presentations, scientific sessions, live voting and interaction, demonstrations, directly to our community.
LIVES Digital programme has been granted 15 European CME credits (ECMEC®s) by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME®).
GENERAL INFORMATION
LIVES is going digital!
General Information
LIVES IS GOING DIGITAL!
Last year LIVES 2020 was our first fully digital congress. Our diverse faculty of more than 330 international speakers delivered more than 30h and 367 live presentations as well as 90h and 365 on-demand presentations.
Given the continuing impact of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, and to ensure everyone can participate, ESICM has decided to transition the onsite LIVES 2021 congress to an immersive and exciting online event - LIVES Digital 2021 - from 03–06 October 2021.
LIVES 2021 will represent a unique opportunity to join a network of colleagues from every part of the world and discover the latest groundbreaking science in intensive care medicine. The programme will include discussion and debates, abstract presentations, scientific sessions, live voting and interaction. Wherever you are working or residing and whatever the time, all the key presentations (and more) will be available to you at the click of a key.
Our aim to is to keep offering a congress experience as diverse and stimulating as the face-to-face meeting.
We look forward to meeting you online in October. In the meantime, we would like to use this opportunity to give recognition to the tremendous healthcare professionals throughout the world who are caring for so many patients during this pandemic.
Together we are Intensive Care.
What does it mean?
Instead of us meeting at a physical location this year for our annual congress, which had been previously planned for Copenhagen, we will now hold the congress completely virtually and online. No travel, fewer obstacles, and more opportunities.
Save the date!
The congress dates will be 03-06 October 2021. More information will be coming in the next weeks as we continue to work on making this as smooth a transition as possible for our entire community.
We thank you for your patience and understanding as we first work out the complexities of moving from a physical congress to an online event.
We invite you to visit our websites regularly for the most up-to-date information on the congress and other ESICM activities.

Accreditation is of utmost importance - both as proof of the top quality of the congress's scientific content and as an opportunity for delegates to collect their CME credit points.
LIVES Digital programme has been granted 15 European CME credits (ECMEC®s) by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME®).
CME credits can be claimed for participation during the 4-DAY LIVE congress (03-06 October) and for the recorded sessions during or after these dates.

PROGRAMME
Scientific Programme
Scientific Programme
ESICM has made the decision to make the LIVES 2021 Annual Meeting an entirely virtual event, and we are currently in the processes of transforming the programme to a virtual format.
The programme will be presented in a wide variety of formats – symposia, workshops, case presentations and case discussions. Alongside the dynamic debates and interactive demonstrations, we will provide a wide range of resources on the LIVES Digital 2021 Media Library that can be accessed and viewed on-demand.
All the sessions featured in the video-on-demand programme will be available to participants on our digital platform from Sunday, 3 October at 15:30 CET. For these presentations, there is neither a set schedule nor a Q&A. This will give all delegates, wherever they may be in the world, the flexibility to watch all the lectures at a time that suits them.
The ESICM LIVES Congress is, above all, an opportunity for interaction and networking, and LIVES Digital 2021 will be no exception. We will have 8 broadcasting channels at our disposal, allowing a wide-ranging programme of interactive debates and dynamic presentations/discussions to be sent out live to all the corners of the globe.
An application will be made to the UEMS EACCME® for CME accreditation of this event.
