FlightBridgeED Air & Surface Transport Symposium

Overview |

FAST23 (The FlightBridgeED Air & Surface Transport Symposium 2023) is an exciting, 2-day critical care/transport medicine conference experience, unlike other EMS conferences. Speakers worldwide will share their knowledge and expertise in various industry-relevant subject matters. Topics covered include resuscitation, cardiology, mental health for medical providers, trauma, stroke, and much more! Each talk is about 20 minutes long, alongside fun, interactive segments such as the attendee-favorite “Whose Lecture is it, Anyway.” 

Unlike other conferences, at FAST, you don’t have to choose which segments to catch and which ones to miss. Our speakers can be found on the main stage, and our exhibitors and sponsors are also in the same conference room. We see this configuration fosters an incredible amount of dialogue and networking so that we can grow as providers, improve our industry, and ensure a better tomorrow for our patients.
