One of the best things about the American Ambulance Association community is the strength of our practitioner network. Members connect with one another at annual conference and beyond to solve problems, share best practices, and discuss key legislative issues.

Your active participation in this exchange of ideas is what enables AAA to serve its mission. We would like to invite you to take your involvement to the next level through the contribution of member content. Please read below to learn how you can speak or write for AAA and build your resume while supporting excellence and community in ambulance services.

Annual Conference & Trade Show

• Speaking proposals for the Annual Conference & Trade Show are announced on the AAA blog when the submission window is open.

Member Webinars

The AAA offers a series of webinars throughout the year and all NON-COMMERCIAL topics are welcome. Attendance for our webinars is equivalent to breakout session room attendance at our Annual Convention. Please send proposals to hello@ambulance.org. Strong preference is given to webinars presented by members. No compensation is available for webinar presenters.
