Airborne Life Support Systems is hosting its 10th Annual Neonatal and Pediatric Transport Conference in Austin, Texas on April 25-27, 2012. This conference allows transport professionals to learn new techniques and the latest advances in neo/peds transport from experts in their field by interacting with other teams from across the US, Canada, and around the world.
Austin, the state capital, is known for its easygoing attitude, musical talent, cultural scene, and friendly atmosphere. In keeping with this casual and playful spirit, we have incorporated FUN NETWORKING ACTIVITIES:
Wednesday Night Wine & Cheese Welcome Reception
The welcome reception in the exhibit hall is a great way to preview the vendors, meet up with your old friends, get to know some new friends, and kick off the conference!

A leisurely bus ride through the beautiful Texas hill country to the Creekside Pavilion for a fun night of networking with casino games, a DJ, door prizes, spirits, and some great Texas BBQ!
