EMU Happy Hour
Join Us for the EM Updates Social Reception!
After a day packed with cutting-edge lectures and high-yield clinical pearls, it's time to decompress and connect with your colleagues at our signature social event. Step away from the lecture hall and join us for the official EM Updates Social Reception, a much-anticipated highlight of the conference.
This is more than just a social hour; it’s your prime opportunity for networking in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Let us treat you to an evening of sophisticated sips and savory bites, featuring a wonderful selection of cocktails, mocktails, beers, and non-alcoholic beverages. Mingle with the brilliant speakers you heard from today, reconnect with old friends, and forge new connections with peers from across the country. The best conversations often happen outside of the formal sessions, and this event provides the perfect backdrop.
Swap ED war stories, debate the latest clinical controversies, or simply unwind and share a laugh in a casual setting designed to foster the camaraderie that defines our incredible specialty.
Your conference badge is your ticket to an evening of great conversation and refreshment for all. Don't miss this chance to build your professional network and celebrate our vibrant EM community. We look forward to raising a glass with you!
