Missouri EMS Conference 2019 - Return to Margaritaville

July 30-August 3

In 2019, we will gather at Tan-Tar-A—rebranded as Margaritaville—recreating an old concept with a new name and a fresh outlook. 

After a number of years of discussion, the Missouri Ambulance Association (MAA), Missouri Emergency Medical Services Association (MEMSA), and Missouri Association of Air Medical Services (MOAAMS) have agreed to combine the ICE Spring Break and Missouri EMS Conference & Expo into one conference.

Coming back to the location, now known as Margaritaville, returns us to the resort that hosted the Combined Clinical Conference for 19 years. A focus group with two representatives from each association had a series of meetings, which resulted in the three associations signing a one-year contract with Barb Shupe as the conference planner. 

There will be plenty of CEUs in clinical, management, and instructor tracts.  The resort setting provides lots of opportunities for fun at the end of the day.  And what a great way to combine learning with a family vacation.

We salute the vendors who have supported our many EMS conferences over the years.  One of the steps we took as we pondered putting the conference together was to send out a survey to ask about preferences.  More than 250 people responded.  89% of the vendors were in favor of having one EMS conference and 63% of the participants were.  Having one conference provides everyone with better chances to network and to gain from others’ perspectives.  It will also provide the vendors opportunities to interact with a diverse group of participants.

We look forward to a big gathering next summer at Margaritaville, and we hope you are part of it.
