Thank you for joining us for THOR Thunder 2023!

And that’s a Wrap! Thank you for attending the Trauma Hemostasis & Oxygenation Research (THOR) Conference 2023 hosted by the WA Airway Group (WAAG) held between 31 October – 3 November 2023 marking it as the first inaugural meeting in the Southern Hemisphere. We were delighted to welcome 238 delegates from around the globe and within Australia to the iconic beachfront Rendezvous Hotel Perth, Scarborough.

The Program - The scientific program featured lectures, panel discussions, and practical workshops, and was enriched by the presence and expertise of both local and international speakers. The Thromboelastography (TEG) workshop and THOR Field Blood Transfusion Practical Workshop by Pat Thompson added significant value to the conference.

Our Exhibitors and Sponsors - Our appreciation extends to our exhibitors and sponsors for their vital role in creating a dynamic and relevant conference experience. Your support was instrumental in fostering collaboration and innovation within the community.

Special thanks to our platinum sponsors:

Haemonetics for facilitating the (TEG) workshop and sponsoring the Welcome Reception. 

Velico for sponsoring the Conference Dinner at La Capannina the delightful restaurant overlooking the beautiful Indian ocean 

Networking Opportunities – The Welcome Reception and Conference Dinner proved to be valuable opportunities for delegates to network with colleagues. A photo booth added an entertaining touch to the conference dinner delegates not only seized the opportunity to network during the dinner but also enjoyed striking poses and creating memorable moments. 

As we reflect on the challenges to conventional perspectives in resuscitation and blood transfusion, we are inspired by the collaborative spirit and dedication exhibited by all participants. Your contributions have paved the way for advancements in trauma and critical care.

In closing, we extend our sincere appreciation to every one of you who played a role, big or small, in making THOR 2023 #THUNDER a resounding success. We look forward to future collaborations and continued advancements in our shared mission.
