Abstract

The twelfth International “Spark of Life” Conference will be held in Sydney, NSW 9-11 May 2019 with the theme “Resuscitation – it’s about time”. The scientific content of the program promises to deliver the latest resuscitation science and importantly its translation to resuscitation practice, thereby strengthening each of the links in the “chain of survival“. A faculty of international and Australian speakers with expertise in many facets of resuscitation have accepted our invitation to participate in the conference. The conference program is designed to ensure the content will be relevant and informative to all involved in resuscitation teaching and practice. This conference is being held at the International Convention Centre Sydney on Darling Harbour. Consistent with previous Spark of Life conferences, a significant Trade Exhibition will give conference participants the opportunity to view and explore the latest in resuscitation equipment and training materials. The Spark of Life conference provides an excellent opportunity to update knowledge as well as meet with old friends and make new acquaintances. I warmly welcome you to attend the 12th Spark of Life conference and look forward to meeting you in Sydney in 2019.
