2010 Annual
EMS Leadership Summit

October 22-25, 2010 || Hyatt Regency on Capitol Hill, Washington, DC

The International Association of EMS Chief’s (IAEMSC) Annual Leadership Summit will be held once again in Washington, D.C. on October 22-25, 2010. The event will be hosted at the Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill. The Summit supports the association's goal of bringing EMS chiefs and leaders together in a forum to discuss common issues and projects while facilitating access to key federal officials and the attendee’s Congressional representatives.

The IAEMSC Leadership Summit is intended for middle and senior leaders in EMS organizations. The summit has included attendees from across the United States in addition to representatives from the international EMS community.

The Summit will include presentations with updates on legal and legislative issues impacting EMS administration and EMS systems. IAEMSC members are also shaping the program agenda by identifying topics and issues they deem priorities to the success of their role in senior EMS leadership. The Summit will also have an exhibit hall.

Registration - Members, non-Members, 2-Day Attendance

Sponsors & Exhibitors Information - The Annual IAEMSC Summit will feature an exhibitor area throughout the meeting. Vendor space will be limited to 30 vendors with reservations being assigned on a first paid-first assigned basis. The agenda is planned to facilitate interaction between Summit attendees and participating vendors, including continental breakfasts, lunch, and breaks that are hosted in the exhibit area each day.

The Annual IAEMSC Summit draws senior EMS executives from the United States, Canada and other countries. Last year, our attendees were key decision makers for EMS agencies collectively responsible for responding to over 3 million emergency medical incidents a year and decisions relating to over $500 million in purchasing of EMS, medical and public safety related supplies and services. Summit sponsorship provides an unparalleled opportunity to interact with an exclusive and diverse group of EMS leaders.

OPPORTUNITY FOR EMS ADVOCACY
The Annual IAEMSC Summit is planned to facilitate attendees meeting with their Congressional representatives and staff. We highly recommend you begin working to identify key Congressional staff with responsibility for EMS-related policy and legislative initiatives and schedule a meeting before arriving for the Summit. The scheduled Summit program will conclude at approximately 1300 hours on Monday, October 25th to permit attendees to meet with their federal representatives and staff. Take advantage of this opportunity to advocate for EMS system support by taking time to meet with your federal representatives while in uniform.

AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PROFESSIONAL COLLABORATION
Last year’s Summit provided critical information to senior EMS leaders with an opportunity for professional collaboration and networking. Several developing trends were identified before they became breaking news stories, including the need for due diligence with hiring practices and the potential for workplace and privacy issues as a result of the prevalence and ease of access to social networking sites. The IAEMSC Annual EMS Leadership Summit is an opportunity for you to take time for an educational and professionally rewarding experience.
