WELCOME TO WEMSA!

For nearly 40 years, WEMSA has proudly hosted one of the largest and most dynamic EMS conferences in the Midwest! Our mission remains the same: to help EMS professionals stay ahead of the curve in the ever-evolving world of emergency services.

Each year, WEMSA continues to grow as EMS providers from Wisconsin and beyond come together for an unmatched experience of education, networking, and hands-on learning. We know the importance of fostering lasting connections between attendees, exhibitors, and educators—and we design every part of our conference with that in mind.

Whether you’re an EMR, EMT, AEMT, Paramedic, Firefighter, or a leader in emergency services, WEMSA 2026 offers fresh insights, new skills, and opportunities you won't find anywhere else. Our focus is providing the dynamic, comprehensive training you need to excel and grow in your career.

At WEMSA, we believe that the work you do demands constant learning, growth, and innovation. That’s why we’re committed to providing you with the tools, training, and connections you need to advance your career and better serve your community.

What started as a local gathering of EMS professionals in Wisconsin has grown into a regional must-attend event, welcoming hundreds of emergency service providers every year. As we continue to grow and evolve, we stay rooted in our mission: to empower, educate, and connect the people who make a difference when it matters most.

Our conference takes place at Resch Expo, which offers unparalleled amenities and views. With a large hall for the 60+ vendor expo and space for five different tracks, attendees will have plenty of opportunities to connect with other EMS professionals, learn the latest trends in the industry, and gain the skills and knowledge needed to succeed.

​Green Bay, Wisconsin, is an ideal destination for attendees, offering the perfect blend of small-town charm and big-city amenities. Home to the legendary Green Bay Packers, this city boasts rich history, vibrant culture, and beautiful waterfront views along the Bay of Green Bay.
