As with all Intrepid Medical Conferences, we ask each delegate to prepare a 15-minute presentation on a topic of their choice related to the conference content. It doesn’t have to directly be about mountain medicine.

Our conferences are Sponsor Free. The cost of the conference is not endorsed or subsidised by other companies such as pharmaceuticals. This is a deliberate decision, in order to fit with our philosophy of best-evidenced medicine.
