Leaders like you share what keeps them coming back to Periop Leader Week year after year.

"

This conference is arguably the most valuable event for periop leaders. It provides practical, real-world solutions, industry benchmarks, and meaningful networking opportunities tailored for OR Managers, Directors, VPs, and other periop leaders. I always walk away with new things to bring back to the organization and actionable strategies I can implement.

Senior Director, Perioperative Services

"

I really enjoy the balance of education and networking with time to actually talk. You can have a decent conversation with a vendor and learn the "why" about a product or service. I walk away with a sense of camaraderie, recognition, renewed passion, and feeling understood.

Clinical Nurse Educator
Lankenau Medical Center
"

Great opportunity to learn from colleagues across the country, network with peers, and see new products and technologies from industry partners.

Systems Sr. Director, Surgical Services

The information provided was specifically for my needs as a manager. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting colleagues who could address the same issues and concerns I work with in my role. I would highly recommend it to new and existing managers.
