Pre-Conference Workshops
Looking to dive deeper? Our Pre-Conference Workshops are the perfect opportunity to gain hands-on experience in specialized areas of pre-hospital and critical care transport medicine. Led by our incredible speakers and the FlightBridgeED educators, these workshops allow you to earn additional CE hours, with sessions focused on practical skills like the Cadaver Lab, FBEpocus™ Pre-Hospital Ultrasound, and Managing ECMO Patients in Transport™, and MORE! These small-group settings offer a chance to connect directly with experts, engage in skill-building exercises, and bring valuable techniques back to your practice. With options to customize your experience, these workshops are a conference highlight!
Unforgettable Social Events
FAST is more than a conference; it’s an experience. Our social events are a special part of what makes this gathering unique. From the First Night “Load-In” Mixer to the Day 1 After Party, these events offer the perfect opportunity to unwind, connect, and make memories. Each ticket comes with exclusive drink vouchers you can use at the bar (and there’s a cash bar if you want to keep the good times rolling). At FAST, we break down the barriers between speakers, attendees and special guests, creating an environment where everyone can relax, share experiences, say “hello”, and celebrate what makes our industry so extraordinary… EACH OTHER.
Hearty, Rave-Worthy Lunches
We know that great learning requires great fuel, and we’re proud to say that no one goes hungry at FAST. Lunches are fully catered with real, hearty food that attendees rave about year after year. We’re talking about dishes like BBQ, pork chops, fried chicken, and all the fixings. Plus a few sweet treats for that sweet tooth of yours. This is a meal you’ll look forward to, not finger foods that leave you wanting more. Throughout the day, we also keep you fueled with snacks, water, soda, and coffee to keep your energy up so you don’t miss a moment of the action.
Production Value That Rocks
When we say FAST is a 3-day pre-hospital and critical care themed “rock concert”, we mean it. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill EMS/critical care conference; it’s a high-energy event with captivating production value. Every detail is designed to keep you entertained, informed, and engaged from the moment you walk through the doors until you leave the event. Expect lights, sound, and visuals that will wow you just as much as the people speaking on stage. This is learning taken to the next level – you’ll feel the excitement, the inspiration, and the thrill of being part of something truly special.
Cutting-Edge Sponsors and Exhibitors
FAST partners with some of the most innovative sponsors and exhibitors in the industry. Our conference is filled with cutting-edge solutions and resources designed to make the field of pre-hospital and critical care transport medicine safer, more efficient, and more effective.
