UNC Tar Heel Trauma is proud to present the 37th Annual May Day Trauma Conference on April 30 – May 1, 2026, at the Friday Center in beautiful Chapel Hill, NC. May Day is a two-day conference carefully designed to meet the educational needs of the healthcare team across the continuum of trauma care.
This year’s conference follows the trauma continuum of care, featuring topics on disaster preparedness, pre-hospital care, emergency medicine, critical care, acute care, rehab, and more.
We are also making a virtual option available to those that cannot attend in person. Check the agenda to see which of the presentations will be live-streamed.
In addition, the conference also features other attractions such as a vendor exhibition, poster presentations, daily giveaways, and a silent auction.
The May Day Conference is a great opportunity to learn, network, and have fun. We hope you can join us.
