OR Manager Conferences Enhance Education, Connection, and Experience

For 36 years, OR Manager has been providing live education and experiences to improve business and patient outcomes of the surgical suite. Each year, we come together to discuss the industry’s most pressing topics, network with peer leaders, and solve current problems faced in facilities across the country. Attendees will earn continuing education credits, meet with vendors who will positively impact performance, and take home valuable and implementable tools to apply upon return to their facilities.

Leaders learn the latest approaches to workforce management, patient safety, emerging technology trends, business management, clinical and regulatory issues, sterilization and infection prevention, and pre and post operative care. The conference is a space to nurture professional relationships that will arm leaders with the resources to exceed expectations in the future of surgical suite management and patient care.

OR Manager Conference is proud to be the only conference providing education specific to the needs of perioperative leaders in all facility types at any stage of their career. We are dedicated to educating and building a network among novice and tenured leaders who support hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, perianesthesia care units, and sterile processing departments.

Perioperative leaders trust us to deliver the latest approaches to workforce management, patient safety, emerging technology trends, business management, clinical and regulatory issues, sterilization and infection prevention, and pre- and postoperative care. Each year, leaders return and invite their leadership team members to source alternative approaches to daily operations, inspiring ideas to implement positive change, and peer support to solve challenges.

This is the space to nurture professional relationships that will arm you with the resources to exceed expectations in the future of your surgical suite management and optimal patient care. With leaders in attendance from across the United States, each person you meet will offer a perspective, idea, inspiration that could change how you approach your daily operations and team management. We often find the connections made at OR Manager Conference are unique to this event; 72% of our attendees have said so!

  • Gather educational and tactical resources through conference keynotes and breakout sessions
  • Visit with vendors, compare products, and learn about the latest advancements for the surgical suite

OR Business Management Conference | February 6-8, 2024 | Phoenix, AZ

The annual OR Business Management Conference, founded in 2012, brings together business managers, financial directors, administrators, and C- and D-suite executives involve in running the logistics of the surgical suite, for valuable hands-on education, experience, and real-world insights to take back to their organizations.

As the only conference designed specifically for perioperative leaders and directors, OR Business Management Conference is a prime opportunity to network with and learn from peers facing similar day-to-day challenges and finding innovative solutions in the management of finances, operations, supplies, and performance of the surgical suite. Those new to an OR leadership role can attend the Pre-Conference Workshop: Fundamentals of OR Management – Certificate of Mastery to gain a deeper understanding of the skills and knowledge needed to effectively run the surgical suite.

In addition to the education and networking, the vendors who will be in attendance will offer solutions that can aid operations, technology, or people management. Connect with 30+ vendors over just 3 days – a significant time savings as opposed to scheduling individual meetings around regular work days. This allows attendees to bring home ways to solve current problems and create more lean business practices.

Educational content is put together by our experienced program planning committee comprised of chief executive and medical officers; directors of surgical and perioperative services, healthcare systems engineering, business operations and patient care; and clinical operations managers from more than 10 of the country’s leading institutions.

Our speaker line-up includes a wide range of facilities representing small community hospitals, large health systems, outpatient surgery centers and children’s hospitals. You’ll learn from industry experts in their field who specialize in operations, healthcare administration, process improvement, data analytics and financial management for surgical service lines in their healthcare facilities. Plus, hear from speakers who manage both the clinical operations and business operations at their healthcare facilities. Learn how they are navigating the business of running the OR suite and walk away with actionable take-home tools you can implement in your healthcare system.

Key topics address core business needs in the areas of finances, operations, supply management, performance improvement, and data + analytics.
