Welcome to the second Critical care Research International: Knowledge, Evidence and beYond Summit (CRIKEY), produced by the Critical Care Research Group.

CRIKEY is an invitation-only ‘think tank’ for robust conversations that challenge our understanding of critical care medicine, catalyse new perspectives, and build collaborations that have the potential to change practice and improve outcomes globally.

CRIKEY is different from other conferences. No trade show booths. No long, didactic lectures.

We blur the lines between speakers and delegates, with all attendees asked to openly and unreservedly participate while upholding the egalitarian ethos of the meeting.
