The AMTC is coming to Minneapolis October 2008!

Education Sessions coming soon!

OK, we've heard a few concerns so we've checked it out.  The average temperature in Minneapolis in mid-late October is 58 degrees.  Embrace the Midwest!  Minneapolis is a beautiful, diverse and exceptionally clean city - perfect to host the Air Medical Transport Conference.  Most of the downtown area is connected by indoor skywalks so you never have to step outside if you don't want to.

The AMTC is an annual exposition and conference that provides a dynamic forum for virtually any individual involved in the medical transport field program to network, learn, and share.   The conference is unique in that our education efforts are geared toward BOTH the clinical and aviation aspects of the community.  We offer education sessions for the program director; nurse; paramedic; physician; pilot; respiratory care practitioner; communications specialist; mechanic; director of maintenance; director of operations; CEO; CFO; hospital administrator; billing personnel; medical director; aircraft manufacturer; aircraft  operator – you name it, we’ve got it!  The AMTC facilitates a lively exchange of information to help medical transport professionals respond to constantly changing patient needs, and promotes industry advancement through adaptation to new technologies.  This is your chance to meet with well over 2500 of energetic, influential professionals active on all levels and in all areas of the medical transport community.   
 
The conference is supported by members of the Association of Air Medical Services, the Air & Surface Transport Nurses Association, the Air Medical Physician Association, the International Association of Flight Paramedics, the National Association of Air Medical Communication Specialists, and the National EMS Pilots Association.  These associations individually and cooperatively support educational and research activities relating to the rapidly changing, diverse medical transport field.

Housing/Accommodations
Due to the high demand in recent years for hotel rooms at the AMTC, we are utilizing a housing bureau this year in Minneapolis.  Room blocks will open for conference attendees in mid-late May 2008.
