In 2019 we realized there was a void in the CPR+AED industry - especially for individual instructors and small CPR+AED businesses. No one was truly focused on equipping, inspiring, and encouraging one of the most forgotten-about yet integral roles that support the Chain of Survival: CPR instructors and CPR+AED business owners.
Our vision became reality in October 2019 when we launched the first-ever Lifesaving Summit. The singular vision of the Lifesaving Summit is to propel the CPR+AED industry forward. Unlike other events, the Lifesaving Summit is truly focused on helping attendees be encouraged, engaged, and equipped so they can go back home with a stronger network, new tools, and a fresh approach to strengthening the Chain of Survival = saving more lives.
The 6th Annual Lifesaving Summit will be help in Alabama on October 8-10, 2024. Registration is now open.
“Since 2019, over 350+ CPR+AED instructors and small business leaders made their way to Alabama to experience a one-of-a-kind event to help propel the CPR+AED industry forward. And they keep coming back.”
