The OR Manager Conference is celebrating 35 years of helping the perioperative community. Since the early days of the conference, OR Manager has expanded and improved every year by expanding education offerings – including CEs on the exhibit hall floor, poster presentation and pre-conference workshops. The OR Manager Conference team relies on help from the Program Committee to help plan education opportunities that directly impact the everyday lives of OR Managers.
Celebrating its 6th year, the PACU Manager Summit has since expanded to host it’s own section on the show floor – the PACU Pavilion, featuring vendors focused on the postanesthetic phase of recovery. The PACU Manager Summit track offers education focused for PACU leaders to help better patient’s lives post surgery. The PACU Manager Summit breakout sessions are included in your All-Access or PACU Manager Summit passes.
2020 marked the inaugural year of the ASC Leader Summit and we are excited to host the 3rd year featuring ASC education for the expanding needs of same-day surgery. As ASCs expand around the country rapidly, it is more important for leaders to recognize those changes specific to the ambulatory surgery setting. The ASC Leader Summit breakout sessions are included in your All-Access or ASC Leader Summit passes.
This year, we are helping you prepare for what lies ahead.
We may not know exactly what our future holds, but the OR Manager Conference, ASC Leader Summit and PACU Manager Summit is here to help you prepare for the road ahead.
The #1 reason perioperative leaders attend the OR Manager Conference – conference content and topics!
