Stand & Deliver

Are you looking for a chance to grow as an EMS speaker? Now is your chance to “Stand & Deliver” at EMS World Expo! Stand & Deliver is EMS World Expo’s exciting offering for those who want to test their speaking skills in front of a live panel of judges. 

The top presenter from Stand & Deliver will be guaranteed a speaking slot at EMS World Expo in 2027!

To be eligible: 

• You must be registered to attend EMS World Expo 2026
• You must not have previously spoken at a national medical conference 

Past participants may participate a second time, provided they have not spoken at a national conference.

This event is aimed at providing academic professionals and those looking to become EMS educators the opportunity to grow their speaking skills.

Participants will give a 15-minute presentation to a live panel of judges who will evaluate the topic's applicability to out-of-hospital care, the media presentation, and the participant's speaking style. Immediately following a live presentation, the participant will receive constructive feedback focused on improving presentation skills. Participants will also receive written feedback within the week.

The preliminary rounds will take place on Wednesday, September 30, and Thursday, October 1. The top 4 participants will compete in the finals, which will take place on Friday, October 2, in the Exhibit Hall Learning Center.
