The DevelopingEM Conference brings together a global community of clinicians, educators, and innovators dedicated to strengthening Emergency Medicine and Critical Care in regions where these specialties continue to grow.
As part of the broader DevelopingEM movement, the conference delivers practice-changing education, real-world case discussions, and hands-on workshops designed by clinicians who understand the challenges of acute care delivery across diverse settings. Whether you work in a high-resource hospital or a remote island clinic, the program aims to provide practical, context-relevant tools you can use immediately.
In 2026, DevelopingEM returns to the Caribbean with a conference shaped in partnership with Saint Lucian and wider Caribbean leaders. The event will highlight local expertise, explore the realities of emergency and critical care across island nations, and connect participants with colleagues from around the world who share a passion for improving acute care.

What people are saying
Amanda Wallis
Developing EM Conference –
Fiji, 2018 & Australia 2022
“A few years ago, I found myself stepping into a vibrant conference hall in Fiji, a place that would become a pivotal moment in my professional journey. It was my first emergency medicine conference, and as I entered, I felt a sense of anticipation wash over me. This was a unique gathering, unlike any I had attended before—a space filled with individuals who shared my passion and understanding of the challenges we face in emergency medicine. As the days unfolded, I discovered a community of like-minded individuals, all eager to engage in deep, meaningful conversations. It was liberating to be surrounded by people who were not afraid to discuss the critical issues affecting our field. We dove into topics that seldom had a platform, unearthing truths that resonated deeply within us. This was not just a conference; it felt like a homecoming.”

“As an intensivist from Brazil, my journey with the Developing Emergency Medicine community has been nothing short of transformative. Having worked in Australia for the past six years, I am proud to be part of a network that thrives on shared knowledge and passion. Since my first Developing EM conference, I felt an immediate embrace from a community of like-minded professionals. This event is not merely about learning; it’s an opportunity to connect with passionate individuals who understand the unique challenges faced in our respective countries.”
