Who Attends
Built for the leaders running perioperative strategy and operations
Many of the executives at this event have decision-making authority and 10+ years of experience. Whether you’re leading OR strategy, accountable for surgical operations, or navigating the intersection of both, this is your peer group.
Inside the Room
What the conversations look like
You'll hear what's actually in production across health systems right now. What worked. What failed before it worked. And how peers are navigating the same constraints you are. Bring your own decisions into the room and leave with clearer direction on what to do next.
