Etiquette:
EMMCO West encourages all participants to enjoy themselves at the conference. Enjoy walking through the vendor areas and listening to our cadre of excellent guest lecturers. A variety of activities are planned to allow you to relax with your EMS colleagues.

As part of these activities, legal alcoholic beverages are often available. Anyone under the legal drinking age shall not consume alcoholic beverages within any of the EMMCO West sponsored functions. The Radisson Hotel will enforce all applicable PA L.C.B. regulations, including photo ID verification.
The Radisson does not permit outside alcoholic beverages to be brought into the Saturday night banquet or STAT Party.
