5 Awards, One Deserving Community

At the OR Manager Conference, we honor inspirational OR managers or directors every year with the OR Manager of the Year Award. Nominated by you, and hand selected by our Planning Committee and the OR Manager Editorial Advisory Board, the OR Manager of the Year is a champion of the perioperative suite.

Given to a rising star in OR management, the Emerging Leader Award will be presented in Chicago at the 2021 OR Manager Conference. This award was developed to recognize newer managers of the OR (five years or less experience) as they pave the way to the future of patient care and OR management.

Managing the OR takes more than just perioperative savvy, it also requires a strong business acumen, requiring complex logistical decisions, scheduling demands, analytical thinking, and a focus on the bottom line. The Best in OR Business Award will be presented at the 2021 OR Business Management Conference in San Diego, California.

At the PACU Manager Summit, we honor an exceptional PACU leader – one who has made remarkable contributions to not only their surgical suite, but also the perioperative community.

At the ASC Leader Summit, we honor the outstanding ASC Leader of the Year who has enhanced the experience and operation of their outpatient facility.
