Welcome
In light of the pandemic spread of Covid-19 and the necessary public health guidance from state/federal officials and the CDC, the First There First Care Conference and Gathering Eagles committee has elected to postpone the physical conference previously scheduled for June 8-12, 2020.
Currently registered participants, exhibitors and sponsors will be contacted directly by email with further information related to registration.
While we are disappointed to not hold this conference in 2020, public health must come first. We especially hope that our participants and colleagues in the medical community who are working to contain and treat the virus will remain safe and healthy.
We look forward to re-scheduling the conference for 2021 and will publicize the date as soon as we can confirm with the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Hollywood.
Please follow us on Twitter@1stthere1stcare, Facebook @ Firsttherefirstcare and our website at firsttherefirstcare.com for updates and further information.

The Fire Chiefs’ Association of Broward County, Florida and the Broward Regional EMS Council welcome you to the First There First Care – Gathering of Eagles EMS Conference, as well as the Chief Mike Haygood Broward Invitational ALS, and the K2 Nursing Competition.
This is South Florida’s premier EMS conference reaching emergency medical technicians, paramedics, nurses, physicians, and other healthcare professionals from South Florida and beyond! This year’s theme “A 2020 Vision of EMS” will explore topics in “Technology and the Future” for the EMS Providers and Emergency Department personnel. This year The First There First Care Conference will continue with the Gathering of Eagles, a consortium of cutting edge EMS Medical Directors that will present their usual didactic and learning magic with over 100 envelope-pushing sessions from across the globe.
Each year our emergency medical service personnel and emergency nurses face new and more challenging situations. Recent events such as mass shootings and the complex technical rescues of entrapped victims remind us that our skills must remain sharp and focused.
For the past two decades The First There First Care team has brought the latest trends and techniques to both pre-hospital EMS and emergency department nurses.
last year the conference hosted over 700 attendees with CEU’s awarded for the mini sessions and conference attendees. We commend each and every one of you for taking this opportunity to advance your training, education, and networking.
***We will See You There!***
