200+ Surgeons and ASC Leaders Shaping the Future of Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management Care

Spine surgeons, orthopedic surgeons, pain management physicians and ASC administrators come together to compare what's working, where they're investing next and how they're navigating reimbursement and technology change in their own practices.

One of the largest annual gatherings focused specifically on spine, orthopedic and pain management-driven ASCs.

Focus Areas

What's Driving the Conversations

Led by surgeons, ASC administrators and physician leaders, these sessions dig into how practices are prioritizing investment, absorbing reimbursement pressure and making decisions across clinical, technology and business lines. Attendees move between conversations based on what's most relevant to their practice, not a fixed track.

AI Strategy & Innovation

For surgeons and administrators governing AI adoption, evaluating new technology and making decisions that cut across clinical, financial and operational lines.

Sample topics: AI in Surgical Planning · Ambient Documentation · Robotics and Digital Health Adoption

Business and Profitability Trends

For physicians and administrators working through reimbursement pressure, private equity interest and the margin decisions defining ASC performance right now.

Sample topics: Payer Negotiations, Private Equity Partnerships, Cost-Cutting Strategy, Reimbursement Trends

Spine, Orthopedics and Pain Management

For surgeons and pain physicians making decisions about surgical innovation, care delivery and the patient experience within their ASCs.

Sample topics: Endoscopic Spine Programs, Neuromodulation, Value-Based Care, Patient Experience
