This past weekend was a powerful reminder of why collaboration and continued learning are so critical in EMS education.
With over 300 attendees, 18 displaying vendors, and a lineup of presenters who are clearly passionate about advancing our profession, this conference was an outstanding success. The depth of knowledge, real‑world experience, and commitment to education shown throughout the sessions made for meaningful learning and engaging discussion at every level.
We are incredibly grateful to our displaying vendors, whose support helps make this event possible year after year. Their partnership plays a vital role in strengthening EMS education and ensuring access to the tools, resources, and innovation our providers rely on.

A special thank you to our session presenters! Your dedication to teaching, mentoring, and pushing our profession forward was evident in every presentation. The energy, expertise, and authenticity you brought to the conference elevated the experience for all who attended.
We were also honored to recognize several individuals through award presentations, celebrating excellence, leadership, and service within EMS education. These moments of recognition reflect the high standards and shared values of this community.
Perhaps most importantly, the conference highlighted the strength in numbers - networking, idea‑sharing, and collaboration among educators, providers, and leaders from across the region. It was especially encouraging to welcome first‑time attendees, new members, and those new to the profession. Your presence reinforces the future of EMS and the importance of investing in those just beginning their journey.
Thank you to everyone who attended, presented, exhibited, and helped make this weekend a success. The impact of this conference will extend far beyond the sessions—and into classrooms, agencies, and patient care across our communities. We're already looking forward to the fall conference!
