MedicMess Tips

  • Use only official @esicm.org, @esicm-congress.org, @cyim.com and KIT Group registration/housing routes because the page warns about fraud.
  • Pre-congress educational courses run on 10-11 October before the main scientific sessions.
  • The programme platform already lists tracks and faculty; use it when choosing study leave dates.
  • Registration pricing was behind the KIT registration profile flow when checked.

The Complete Guide to the ESICM LIVES 2026 39th Annual Congress Lisbon

ESICM LIVES 2026, the 39th Annual Congress, runs from 10 to 14 October 2026 at CCL, Lisboa Congress Centre. The official page confirms pre-congress educational courses on 10-11 October, a welcoming ceremony on 12 October, scientific sessions and educational workshops from 12-14 October, and a morning charity run on 13 October. The linked programme platform is already live and shows a broad intensive-care agenda across acute kidney injury, acute respiratory failure, anaesthesia and peri-operative medicine, cardiovascular dynamics, data science, ethics, infection, neuro-intensive care, pharmacology, rehabilitation, sepsis, translational biology, trauma and emergency medicine. The faculty list includes international speakers and moderators from Europe and beyond. Registration is via KIT Group login/profile, so visible pricing was not available without creating or using an account. This is a major European intensive care congress with strong networking, research and education value for ICU trainees and research-active junior doctors.
