The 4th WSC was organized by the Global Sepsis Alliance, a non-profit charity organization with the mission to provide global leadership to reduce the worldwide burden of sepsis. The GSA is the initiator of World Sepsis Day on September 13 and World Sepsis Congress, a series of free online congresses bringing knowledge about sepsis to all parts of the world, among other initiatives.

10) Why is WSC free? How is World Sepsis Congress funded?
World Sepsis Congress is free because its mission is to bring knowledge about sepsis to all parts of the world, easily accessible and, well, free of charge. WSC is funded with the help of our Sponsors, whom we sincerely thank for their support. Please note that sponsors do not influence the program, content, or the choice of speakers in any way.
