Speak at AAA 2026 in Las Vegas!

August 14, 2025, by Amanda Riordan

Share your insights with fellow EMS leaders surrounded by the excitement of fabulous Las Vegas. 

This year, we’re making a special call for Pecha Kucha–style presentations—a concise, visual storytelling format that uses 20 slides shown for 20 seconds each, for a total of 6 minutes and 40 seconds. The focus is on telling a story through powerful, image-based slides.

Other presentation formats are welcome, but we’re eager to feature a few of these dynamic Pecha Kucha sessions to keep energy and ideas flowing throughout the event.

Speaker proposal are due November 15!
