Hi all,

To keep you up-to-date on EMS Today 2010, we are in the last stages of finaling the program and we've begun the brochure layout. I know it seems far away, but we've been working on the lineup for months! Below are a couple of pics of AJ and Debbie working on the program. If you want to know the latest EMS Today news, check back often. I'll be updating the wall weekly.

Then tell me, what is the one thing in this year's conference schedule you're most excited about? Is it mentioned in the podcast ... or is it something else?
