10 JANUARY 2018 | EMSWORLD.com For More Information Circle 15 on Reader Service Card After a hugely successful EMS World Expo in Las Vegas last October, it is not too early to think about what you want to teach (or learn) in Nashville in 2018. Did you attend a ses- sion whose topic piqued your interest? Have some innovative ideas for a new topic or a new approach to an old problem? Now's the time to give back by transmitting your brain- power and experience to all those eager EMS providers. With over 200 hours of continuing education available in tracks ranging from ALS to BLS, Educator to Leadership, and Spe- cial Populations to Management, there is no shortage of potential topics. New for the 2018 Expo is our New Speaker Mentorship program. We are looking to cultivate and develop new tal- ent. To that end, our EMS World Advisory Board members, seasoned and experienced, will be offering their expertise to you: assisting with content, coaching your speaking skills and guiding you in polishing your presentation so that you are confident and prepared to deliver to attendees the best education possible. We encourage those who are new to the speaker circuit or those who are regional speakers to consider this opportunity. The EMS World Expo conference program features timely, thought-provoking and educationally sound topics that are relevant to EMTs, paramedics, critical care providers, EMS educators, emergency nurses, EMS medical directors, EMS administrators and managers. In 2017, we had over 5000 attendees from close to 50 countries—how about that for an audience?
