Welcome letter

Dear speakers,
I am proud to announce that Brazil will host the 1st World Congress on Pediatric Emergencies and Urgencies. It will be a hybrid event with global broadcast and three official languages in simultaneous translation: Portuguese, English, and Spanish.

The event is a joint effort by the Brazilian Society of Pediatrics (SBP) and the São Paulo Society of Pediatrics (SPSP), with its scientific organization including, in addition to these two societies, the participation of the Latin American Society of Pediatric Emergencies (SLEPE) and the Spanish Society of Pediatric Emergencies (SEUP).

It's interesting to see the evolution of this event, which began as the 1st São Paulo Congress on Pediatric Emergencies and Urgencies in 2012, growing in size and importance, evolving to a national Brazilian congress in 2015, and then to a South American congress in 2018.

In its 5th edition, it has now reached the magnitude of a global event. This pioneering event highlights the entrepreneurial spirit of Brazilian pediatric societies.

The congress will feature 31 international speakers from 15 countries and 6 different continents, bringing scientific depth and a diversity of opinions and clinical experiences. The faculty will also include renowned national pediatric emergency specialists.
The unprecedented support of numerous international medical societies demonstrates the recognition and importance our congress has achieved.

This event is designed and delivered by pediatric emergency specialists for pediatricians working in emergency services, or those treating children with severe manifestations of general illnesses in clinics and hospitals.

In addition to clinical topics, other subjects will be addressed, such as quality, safety, management, education, and physician well-being, among others.

I believe this is a unique opportunity for mutual learning and the exchange of experiences that will enrich us both professionally and personally, ultimately leading to better and more organized care for critically ill children. This is our main goal.
I invite everyone to join this celebration!

Best regards, and see you soon!
