About this congress
Phoenix World Burn Congress (WBC) began in 1985, developed by burn survivors, for burn survivors, to identify and understand the issues that impact the daily lives of those associated with burn trauma. Since its inception, the event has transformed into an international conference that provides education, support programs, and comprehensive resources to support and increase knowledge of burn recovery. It is the world's largest gathering of burn survivors, their families, burn care professionals, and the fire service industry.
