New Location, Fresh Perspectives

Our event has a new home in 2013!  This year, our 2-day emsCharts User Conference will be held in the historic and beautiful Omni William Penn Hotel in downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. 

The emsCharts User Conference targets Administrators and Power Users/Trainers, and covers many advanced features of emsCharts.  This year's event introduces new sessions and guest speakers, which will provide invaluable material for new and returning attendees.

This year's venue is the Omni William Penn Hotel in the heart of downtown Pittsburgh.  The grand and historic venue is one of Pittsburgh's premier event locations.  Even though it originally opened in 1916, it will provide our attendees with state-of-the-art facilities for the emsCharts User Conference.
