If you’re looking for deeper, more meaningful connections at conferences, ACEP24 is your best bet. We’ve doubled down on flexibility, unique experiences, and more networking time based on your feedback in surveys and focus groups. Education is always top notch at the world’s largest emergency medicine conference. But this year, even more content on bedside decision-making and courses that range from clinical to practice and lifestyle topics make ACEP24 a can’t-miss opportunity.

Emergency physicians asked for a redesigned, re-imagined conference. ACEP has responded with loads of new features at ACEP24. Here’s a look at what you’ll find Sept. 29–Oct. 2 in Las Vegas.

An Exhibit Hall Designed for You

At this year’s Exhibit Hall, everything you need for career development will be in one place, bordered by ACEP’s Resource Center, the new Connection Hub and the much-anticipated coffee station. ACEP invented this specific Career Hub for two reasons.

First, this layout makes it easier to navigate if you are looking for career resources. Rather than spreading staffing companies throughout the exhibit space, a quick pass through this area allows you to spend less time searching and more time advancing your career.

Second, ACEP issued a policy statement last year on the corporate practice of medicine. The statement reaffirmed the core belief that the physician-patient relationship is the moral center of medicine. ACEP leaders, including the Education Committee who coordinate the annual meeting, want to eliminate any misperception that corporate physician staffing groups might have excessive representation at the meeting. Attendees should feel free to make employment decisions in their own best interests.

The Career Hub establishes just two booth sizes for all exhibiting employers, creating a more balanced approach to display opportunities for job seekers. ACEP also requires all exhibiting employers to have completed a profile in the ACEP Open Book encouraging greater transparency of group structure and policies. High-profile advertising and sponsorship opportunities at the annual meeting are limited this year.

At ACEP24, the main Exhibit Hall will be a showcase for medical device companies and new industry technology. Some other different features this year include:

• Integrated Research Forum: Get ready for an electrifying experience at ACEP’s Research Forum, emergency medicine’s premier research event! This year, we’re unveiling an impressive new platform for oral and poster presentations, situated right in the heart of the ACEP24 Exhibit Hall.
• Skills Zone: Put new knowledge to practice in the Skills Zone. After non-CME courses, attendees will be invited to the Exhibit Hall to practice skills like nasal fiber-optic intubation and ventilation techniques with support from exhibiting companies.
• The Connection Hub: Connect with existing communities and form new connections on topics that matter to you. ACEP’s updated app allows attendees to reserve seats for one-on-one and small group conversations. Every 30 minutes, a range of topics draws new participants to discuss everything from mastering ultrasound techniques to finding career mentorship.
• Expanded Hours: ACEP has expanded exhibit hall hours to provide more opportunities for attendees to stroll the halls, have conversations, and solve problems.

The new hours are:
