About the Conference
Speakers come to be part of the conversations you need to be in
The roster is built around one question: who does this audience actually need to hear from? Speakers are chosen for the decisions they own, the ASCs and practices they run and the peers they work alongside every day.
Over 90% of the speaker lineup is health system leaders and executives.
