About this event

Crash and Learn® is the premiere outdoor conference that offers an all-encompassing experience like no other. The outdoors is conducive to realistic learning since we often operate in this environment. It also encourages creative approaches to standard operations. This resuscitation retreat is not only accredited and affordable, but it prioritizes educating clinicians that directly impact patient outcomes.

Unlike other conferences, Crash and Learn® does not have slide presentations, business casual dress, company booths unrelated to the industry, or encouragement of a “party” atmosphere. The educational content is the highest priority. Sessions cover an array of evidence-based topics including the following:

- Emergency Medicine

- Austere Medicine

- Critical Care

- Mental Wellness

- Aviation Safety

- Crash Survival

Subject matter experts instruct via whiteboard lectures, hands-on workshops, and/or high-fidelity simulations. Not only are these methods proven to better promote retention of information, but attendees are able to interact directly with world-renowned educators. Additionally, instructors and students are able to spend time together before and after education sessions, so the learning never stops. Forget stuffy conference rooms in a city with nothing to do! Come learn in the mountains, under the stars, amongst motivated peers!

Frequently asked questions

Why outdoors?

The outdoors is conducive to realistic learning since we often operate in this environment. It also encourages creative approaches to standard operations.

Where is the closest airport?

Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport

Do I have to be an active flight crew member to attend?

Absolutely not! Our conference includes content that is applicable to all pre-hospital and intra-hospital disciplines.

Will I get CE’s for attending?

You will receive approximately 14 Continuing Education Hours courtesy of Impact EMS. These are applicable to nurses, paramedics, and other sub-specialities. (CME’s for providers are currently unavailable.)

How many attendees will be there?

Approximately 200. Groups are intentionally kept small to facilitate a safe and individualized learning experience. In order to achieve this, we cap the number of attendees, staff, affiliates, and sponsors.

How do I get to the campground?

We are not offering shuttle services for 2024’s conference. We recommend utilizing rental services, ride-share, and/or carpooling.

Where will I stay?

BYOT (Bring Your Own Tent). Attendees are able to choose their own site within the designated camping area to set up a tent. We also accommodate RV’s, overlanders, and pop-up tents <35 feet, though you are responsible for safely parking your vehicle.

Will I have access to my vehicle?

Most vehicles will be directed to the parking lot after drop-off. You can access your vehicle at any time, but you are not guaranteed a parking spot next to your camping area.

What if I don’t want to camp?

You can still attend the conference! Other lodging options are available in the area, but these are not included in the price of admission. Attendees are responsible for making their own arrangements.

What if I’m flying and need fuel canisters and/or fire-starting materials?

These can be purchased in the local area, so plan accordingly. Additional equipment can be sourced in route to the campground.

Can I drink alcohol?

Alcohol is permitted outside of education session hours, but professional behavior is expected of all in attendance. Belligerence will not be tolerated. (See Purchase Agreement.) Be mindful that increased altitude equates to increased effects of alcohol.

What do I need to wear?

Outdoor casual dress is strongly encouraged. This includes cold and rain outer layers and supportive footwear. Unlike other conferences, we discourage business casual dress, because it is inappropriate for the elements.

Where will I go to the restroom?

Porta-potties with hand washing stations are available on site. Bring hand sanitizer.

Where will I shower?

There are no showers. We recommend utilizing bag baths/baby wipes, powders, and other means of hygiene.

What will I do after each day?

The fun and networking never stop! Enjoy outdoor recreation with your fellow attendees by sitting around a bonfire, hiking up a mountain, swimming in a creek, or playing a game. The sky is the limit!

Is there cell phone service?

Yes! 2024’s conference will accommodate multiple major carriers.

What if it rains?

Though unlikely, we cannot control inclement weather. With that said, the conference is RAIN OR SHINE. We will post the latest forecasts and provide some protective measures to assist comfort levels in the event of said weather.
