REGISTER ONLINE AT EMSWORLDEXPO.COM 5 A MESSAGE FROM THE CONFERENCE DIRECTOR I'm excited to welcome you to EMS World Expo, the largest EMS conference and trade show in North America, returning to the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, LA. This year's event is unprecedented. Hands-on education opportunities abound throughout the program. Our active shooter workshop features both didactic and hands-on training with professionally moulaged live patients, and our clinical skills advancement cadaver lab allows you to refresh low-frequency, high-risk skills and test the latest devices for only $85! You can also get hands-on during the core program in our cardiac dissection lab where scalpels and scenarios will be paired with step-by-step video. New this year, we are partnering with the International Association of Flight & Critical Care Paramedics (IAFCCP) and the International Board of Specialty Certifcation (IBSC) to offer additional CE opportunities for critical care practitioners and community paramedics. See page 23 for more details. We are also debuting a core program track specifcally designed for practicing community paramedics. During this 5-day event, you'll meet with top industry experts and EMS providers from all over the world to share best practices and add to your list of key contacts. You won't want to miss this year's "after hours" networking opportunities, which include the opening night reception, the ever-popular ZOLL-sponsored Shockfest and the Warehouse District Pub Crawl.
