Why have a symposium?

The EMS Recruitment & Retention Symposium is designed to equip EMS leaders with practical tools and resources they may not otherwise have access to—empowering them to build, grow, and sustain a strong workforce. Participants will learn proven strategies to identify, attract, and hire top talent while strengthening employee engagement, satisfaction, and long-term retention.

This event brings together career and volunteer EMS leaders, agency administrators, and developing leaders for focused discussions on building a stable, motivated, and future-ready EMS team. Whether you’re recruiting new providers or working to retain your current staff, this symposium offers actionable solutions to help your agency thrive.
