EMT-Paramedic podcasters, Jamie Davis, Chris Montera and Greg Friese recorded live shows from their booth on location in the expo hall while EMS camera dudes, Ted Setla and Chris Eldridge caught it all on video.

The podcasters and video crew were also joined by the lovely and talented EMT Carissa O'Brien of Redbox Communications and the Baseline Vitals blog.

Together they have redefined how a medical conference like this should be covered and promoted. Their product review videos, continuous podcast productions from the floor, Live Ustream.tv feed and excellent articles at EMSExpo.net prove that there is a fundamental shift in the way we view and attend these events in the future.
