I remember my first SOMA back in December of 2007 when the trade show was so small it fit into a few small convention rooms in the Marriott.  It’s grown considerably in that time.  This year it is in the Tampa Convention Center and has more exhibitors than ever before.  And though SOMA is our largest trade show of the year, its not really about the trade show.  Though it is a chance to see all the new gear (and catch up on vendor politics), the conference is about information sharing and presentations second to none.  It is a great opportunity to network with people from a very broady diversity of agencies.  And it is a great opportunity to peer into the future of tactical medicine.

If you are attending this year, I look forward to seeing you.  Please stop by our booth and check out what is new and up and coming from CTOMS.  If you can’t make it this year, try to plan to make it next year, or at some point in the future.  The Florida weather is much better than most other places at this time of year, and its an incredible event attended by some incredible people and incredible speakers.  And the best part is it gets bigger and better every year.

Stay up to date on the SOMA conference with CTOMS on our Facebook and Twitter pages.
