STEADFAST:  Come Hell or High Water

​The 2027 theme speaks to an enduring characteristic of our specialty: a determination to provide exceptional care regardless of the challenges before us. As emergency medicine continues to evolve, we are called not only to respond to today's realities, but to shape tomorrow's solutions through innovation, leadership, scholarship, and collaboration. 

​

We invite you to submit a proposal to rock the podium, be part of a panel, or run a workshop at  #CAEP27.

​

Call for submissions opens: October 15, 2026 at 12:00PM ET

Submission deadline: November 29, 2026 at 11:59PM ET
