THE DIFFERENCE

Leave With More Than Notes.

The education matters. So do the conversations, the people you meet, the ideas that challenge you, and the perspective you carry back to your team. Some of the most important takeaways from FAST aren't the ones you wrote down.

“I came home excited about work again and its been a long time since I could say that. thank you” -Chris M., NREMT-P

Inside FAST27

This is what FAST feels like.

The room changes throughout the day, but the energy never disappears. Serious medicine. Unexpected conversations. A little chaos. A lot of laughter. Three days that move.

Speaker presenting to the shared FAST MAINSTAGE audience — May 4-5 **FAST MAINSTAGE™** TED-style presentations from internationally respected educators, clinicians, authors, researchers, and innovators exploring the ideas shaping EMS, flight, transport, and critical care medicine creating a shared experience that continues well beyond the stage.

Creators together in person at the FAST Creator Festival — May 3 Evening Event **Creator Festival™** The content creators you follow online step out of your screens to bring their unique voice and perspectives into the conversation at FAST.

FAST attendees, faculty, and sponsors sharing lunch — May 4-5 **Time Between Sessions** Fresh coffee throughout the day, substantial breaks, and a hot, buffet lunch shared by speakers, attendees, creators, and sponsors. Time to eat, reset, and continue the conversations the FAST MAINSTAGE™ started.

Attendees continuing the evening together at FAST After Hours — May 4 **FAST After Hours™** An evening with the people who make this profession what it is. Drinks, snacks, unfinished conversations, new introductions, old friends, and time to relax.

The Voices Behind FAST

Hear the ideas shaping the room.

Clinical conversations, hard questions, and unexpected perspectives from the educators, clinicians, authors, and creators who help move EMS and critical care forward.

Ask Anyone Who Has Been

One Experience. Countless Conversations..

The MAINSTAGE™ starts the conversation. Shared meals, breaks, Creator Festival™, and FAST After Hours™ give those conversations time to grow. By the end of the week, introductions have become friendships, questions have become ideas, and people you've just met already feel familiar.

“It doesn’t feel like wandering around some huge building trying to figure out where I’m supposed to be.” One shared experience keeps the whole event connected.

“Peter Antevy sat down at my table at lunch. I learned a lot just talking with him.” The voices you came to hear become the people you get to know.

“I have friends that I only see at FAST, and every year we just pick right back up.” See ya next time isn't really goodbye.
