"Noosa" has long been regarded as the pivotal event on the CTG's calendar. It is a working meeting which provides a forum for the presentation, discussion, and development of intensive care research proposals, the presentation of results and updates on current CTG studies, and didactic elements centred on the advancement of clinical research methods in critical illness. For those with an emerging or established interest in critical care research, the Noosa meeting is an opportunity to be an active member of the CTG network and benefit from the collective experience and expertise of the trials group.

Members of the intensive care research community and individuals working in the public sector (i.e. in a non-commercial setting) to improve outcomes for people with critical illness are invited to attend the meeting, which typically attracts over 180 clinicians, research coordinators, nurses, allied health practitioners and career researchers from across Australia and New Zealand.

The CTG maintains a strong commitment to collaboration and has forged partnerships with fellow leaders in critical care research locally and internationally. We have been fortunate to welcome a number of our highly esteemed colleagues to Noosa as guest speakers in the recent years. These include Professors Deborah Cook, Paul Hebert, John Marshall, Derek Angus, John McNeil, Robyn Norton, Stephen McMahon, Brian Cuthbertson, Kathy Rowan, Jeffrey Drazen (Editor of the New England Journal of Medicine) and Warrick Anderson (CEO, NHMRC).

We are once again fortunate to be hosting the annual ICU Research Coordinators Workshop on Thursday March 8 preceding the main meeting. The workshop is a unique and highly-valuable education forum and provides an opportunity for ICU Research Coordinators to network, share ideas and experiences, and further the development of research coordination as a specialised area of critical care research.
