All good things must come to a close, and that includes JEMS @ FDIC International.

We close our doors today, but we hope you can go back to your home department with the tools needed to ensure EMS continues to thrive.

JEMS @ FDIC may be over, but what a week we had!” said JEMS Editor-in-Chief Edward ‘Ted’ Lee, Ed.D, NRP. “We saw thousands of EMS providers from all skill levels – from AEMTs, EMTS, paramedics, medical directors and more – walk the convention floor and attend classes. We all do this to be better patient care providers. I particularly loved seeing the ‘a-ha’ moment from a number of people while in class. The future of EMS is bright.”

Of course, this is only a snippet of what actually went on here. If you weren’t able to join us this year, you’ll have to see it with your own eyes in 2025.

Mark your calendars now for future conference dates: April 7-12, 2025, April 20-25, 2026, and April 12-17, 2027.
