The Symposium Intensivmedizin + Intensivpflege (Intensive Care + Critical Care Medicine) in Bremen is the largest annual meeting of intensive care physicians and nurses, administrative experts and industry representatives that is independent of associations. The congress consists of seven thematic pillars: Intensive Medicine, Intensive Care, Anesthesia, Emergency Medicine, Hospital - Management & Perspective, Modern Campus and the Master Class Symposium. With its TED sessions, interactive workshops, the Master Class Symposium, the Starter Seminars and the sessions on modern hospital management, the programme offers a comprehensive range of all content of practical relevance for intensive care medicine and intensive care.

The Congress was cancelled 2021 due to the pandemic. Therefore, as an alternative to the Symposium Intensivmedizin + Intensivpflege, the organizers have launched a virtual lecture series: the Bremer Talk. In a total of eleven dates from the end of February to mid-July, experts will talk about topics that move the industry.
