Tips for Successful Session Proposals

• Top consideration is given to new, high-quality and/or timely topics that have not been previously presented at EMS World Expo or other national/regional conferences.
• Strong consideration will be given to sessions that focus on evidence based medicine, best practices, and solutions for EMS clinicians and leaders.
• Each presentation proposal should answer the following questions:
  • What are the objectives of the presentation?
  • What value will attendees gain by attending the presentation?
  • What actionable information will attendees be able to take home to their department or service?

Members of the Expo Review Board evaluate all proposed sessions using the following criteria:

• The overall quality of the presentation proposal (organization, grammar/spelling, and appearance).
• Relevance to the EMS community.
• Well-defined focus within the program track structure.
• Practical applications of material.
• Timeliness of the topic.
• Specific subject matter expertise by the presenter on the specific presentation topic.
