Please fill out the following questions and requests by December 1, 2026.
For speakers that are traveling from out of state, a minimum of four submissions should be submitted.
Submissions should be complete and the PAC conference committee reserves the right to reject any submissions that are not complete.
Clinical and operational
Assessment, airway, cardiac, trauma, pediatrics, behavioral emergencies — case-based, current and honest about what the evidence does and doesn't say.
Leadership and education
Running an agency, teaching the next crew, retention, quality improvement and the problems every service is quietly working on.
Resilience and wellbeing
Sessions that help providers stay in the work — mental health, peer support, recovery from the bad calls.
What makes a strong proposal
- A clear takeaway: what will attendees do differently on Monday?
- A title that says what the session is, not a pun they have to decode.
- An honest level — new provider, experienced, or everyone — and a format that fits the content.
Who should propose
EMTs, paramedics, nurses, physicians, educators and agency leaders — the people who answer the call and the people who train and lead them.
