FAST is FlightBridgeED's annual gathering for EMS, flight paramedics, flight nurses, critical care transport clinicians, educators, creators, industry innovators, and future transport providers.
Preconference workshops for focused learning before the main conference begins.
These are optional, extra CE workshops for an additional fee.
Two PACKED main conference days built around one MAINSTAGE™ experience, the Creator Festival™, the FAST After Hours™ event, and so much more!
Kentucky is home for FlightBridgeED, and many of you told us Lexington was your favorite FAST location. We agree. See y'all in May!
If you care deeply about EMS, critical care, and transport medicine, you'll be in good company at FAST. Every year, clinicians, educators, students, content creators, and industry innovators come together to learn, share, reconnect, and make each other better.
One stage. No confusing track hunting. No choosing which session to miss. PLUS the MAINSTAGE™ production vibes that FAST is known for.
The podcasters, creators, and personalities you follow online, together in person, bringing their own unique views and perspectives on our profession.
Included FREE with your ticket
The day slows down, people reconnect, and the best conversations keep moving. FAST After Hours™ happens on the evening of May 4th and is open to attendees, speakers, Industry Partners, creators and special guests.
Included FREE with your ticket
The companies building the tools, technology, education, and services around patient care are part of the FAST experience because clinicians and industry solve different parts of the same problem.
We're not feeding you cold box lunches while the "VIPs" eat filet. Lunch is fresh, hot, tasty, and probably southern! AND coffee on tap all day long!
Included FREE with your ticket

FAST brings together the people delivering care and the companies building the equipment, technology, education, and services that expand what those clinicians can do. The goal is not more logos. It is better conversations, better solutions, and better outcomes for patients.
Industry Partners hear the same ideas and clinical problems shaping the attendees they came to meet.
Long breaks, shared lunches, Creator Festival™, and FAST After Hours™ create repeated, natural conversations.
FAST attracts clinicians, educators, leaders, and creators who have already chosen to invest in becoming better at the work.
FAST is intentionally focused so you stay connected to the same experience.
The relationships built at FAST are a core part of why people return.
FAST keeps speakers, educators, creators, exhibitors, and you in the same environment for this very reason.
