Top 5 Reasons to Attend Wave and ESO Training Academy
Back in 2010, when the first ESO Wave conference took place, we never envisioned what it would it would become. From a gathering of 100 attendees in a small hotel, to almost 1,000 attendees at our last in-person conference – we are thrilled to offer industry professionals in EMS, fire, hospital, and state organizations the chance to learn how to use data to drive change.
With networking events and product training, Wave featuring ESO Training Academy is informative, fun, and truly unique to first responders and healthcare professionals.
What Exactly is Wave?
Wave is the leading EMS, fire, hospital and state organization conference designed to empower attendees to use data to improve care quality and transform community health and safety. Wave offers tools needed to improve patient care and operations, opportunities to learn and advance careers, and networking with industry experts and peers.
This year’s event will take place April 21-22, 2022 at the JW Marriott – Austin in downtown Austin. Wave 2022 will deliver the best in thought leadership, data analysis, and in-field experience to help you foster change within your organization for the benefit of the communities you serve.
5 Reasons to Attend Wave 2022
As plans are being finalized and budgets set for the upcoming year, now is the perfect time to get Wave 2022 on your calendar (Super Saver and Early Bird registration deals also are a great incentive). Here are 5 reasons we think you’ll love attending Wave:
- Keynotes from Industry Leaders:
You’ll be inspired by keynote speakers who are experts in their field and passionate about what they do. You’ll get to choose sessions from the following tracks: Data in Action, Industry Insights, Roadmap and Feedback, Quality and Research, Meet the ESO Suite, and Revenue Recovery. And you are not limited to following one just track—you can attend the sessions that interest you most, regardless of your industry! - Real-World Insight:
Don’t just listen to the “why;” see the “how” with sessions led by peers with in-depth field experience. From fire chiefs and medical directors and admins, to speakers who are the “boots on the ground,” session topics are presented by those with real, in-field experience. They understand what you are facing on a daily basis and combine their experience with their expertise on their topic. There’s no better way to get practical and useful insight on the leading issues and topics for our industries. - Data-Savvy Intel:
At the core of Wave is a passion for making the most of your data to improve operations, deliver better care, understand your organization, and drive your industry forward. Wave sessions offer a wide range of topics covering trends, research, and best practices for using data in your own organization, now and in the future. As a leader in data collection and dissemination – as seen in our collection of resources like industry Index publications, white papers, and guides – everything we do at ESO is centered around real-world data and how it can make our jobs more efficient and effective. Wave 2022 is no different. - Networking Like No Other:
Make connections and exchange ideas with leaders within EMS, fire, hospital, and state organizations from across the country. You’ll find yourself sitting next to a wide range of peers, providing a great opportunity for making new professional connections. This not only offers new avenues for brainstorming and reaching out later in the year, but can also help you benchmark metrics for your own agency based on similar organizations. Additionally, a vendor exhibit hall will offer a chance to see new products and technologies for your industry and chat in-person with company reps. - Nightly Events:
Don’t worry, we always make time for some fun after taking in so much information during our sessions. You’ll have the chance to catch up with your peers “off the clock,” with entertainment, libations, and networking. It’s a great way to celebrate the innovations for our industries, and all the hard work put in over the last year.
