Sepsis Alliance HAI and AMR Conference 2026
Description:
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) are increasingly interconnected threats that jeopardize patient safety, elevate healthcare costs, and raise the risk of infections progressing to sepsis. To address these challenges, the 2026 Sepsis Alliance HAI and AMR Conferencewill bring together experts from across the healthcare spectrum for a virtual event. Attendees will explore the latest evidence, technologies, and strategies in infection prevention, antimicrobial stewardship, and sepsis mitigation. Through expert-led presentations and practical insights, participants will gain a deeper understanding of both clinical and system-level approaches that drive safer, more equitable care.
Topics covered will include:
- Innovations in HAI prevention and surveillance
- Equity considerations in AMR and HAI outcomes
- The link between sepsis, HAIs, and antimicrobial resistance
- Antibiotic stewardship and leadership engagement
- Applications of technology and artificial intelligence in HAI and AMR management
The event will be offered as a free live virtual event with CME for physicians and contact hours for nurses awarded.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of this event, the learner should be able to:
- Describe the relationship between HAIs, AMR, and sepsis, and their combined impact on patient outcomes.
- Apply evidence-based infection prevention and control (IPC) strategies within diverse healthcare settings.
- Identify tools, resources, and stewardship practices that support responsible antimicrobial prescribing.
- Recognize emerging technologies and innovative approaches that strengthen HAI surveillance and AMR mitigation.
- Evaluate system-level opportunities, particularly for leadership and quality teams, to drive meaningful improvement in infection control and antimicrobial stewardship efforts.
Target Audience:
Nurses, advanced practice providers, physicians, emergency responders, pharmacists, medical technologists, respiratory therapists, physical/occupational therapists, infection prevention specialists, data/quality specialists, and more.
