Attending Becker's Perioperative Summit

Drive surgical excellence — join the leaders shaping what works next.

Perioperative performance shapes patient flow, experience, and financial health. This summit brings together C-suite and perioperative leaders to pressure-test strategies for OR efficiency, workforce models, case mix and scheduling, and technology that reduces waste while protecting quality, so you leave with clear next steps, not theory.

  • Strengthen workforce performance with pragmatic models for nursing, anesthesia, and techs, built for retention and coverage

  • Drive cost discipline across implants, supplies, and preference cards, protect quality while improving margin
