LOCATION
Just 38 miles south of Anchorage International Airport, Alyeska Resort feels a world away from civilization—and that’s exactly where TBS Alaska belongs. Surrounded by mountains, glaciers, and the vastness of Alaska, it provides an authentic backcountry setting without sacrificing the amenities, comfort, and hospitality of a full-service resort. It’s the perfect backdrop for a conference built around medicine in the environments where the margin for error is smallest.
SCHEDULE
The conference is organized around themed sessions each morning from 08:00–11:00 and evening from 17:00–20:00. Afternoons are dedicated to hands-on workshops from 11:30–16:00, giving participants the opportunity to put concepts into practice.

SPEAKERS
TBS Alaska brings together an exceptional mix of speakers from military and special operations, civilian medicine, law enforcement, search and rescue; and clinical, street, mountain, and austere environments. Our speakers come from Switzerland, Germany, Ireland, Alaska, and across the United States, bringing diverse perspectives and hard-earned experience from the field to the conference hall. Together, they share practical lessons, challenge conventional thinking, and explore what it takes to care for patients and teams when conditions are anything but ideal.
REGISTER FOR TBS ALASKA
We intentionally keep TBS-Alaska small to create an environment where meaningful conversations and genuine connections can happen. Our goal is to encourage discussion and shared learning not only in the conference hall, but around the table, in the hallway, or on the mountain. Attendance is limited. The registration fee is $1,000 USD. There are 24 CME’s available for attendance.
