Join us on the first evening of the conference as we kick off the festivities in true Las Vegas style! Immerse yourself in the Periop Networking & Innovation Hub, and indulge your taste buds with delectable bites and tantalizing cocktails or refreshing mocktails, all while mingling with perioperative industry peers. This is your opportunity to forge new connections, exchange best practices, and expand your professional network.

Enjoy mesmerizing magic tricks, discover what the future holds with a tarot card reading, and capture the moment with a photo alongside glamorous Vegas showgirls.

With over 140 vendors showcasing cutting-edge equipment, products, services, and solutions for the operating room, you’ll have the chance to explore the latest advancements in perioperative care.

• Watch a demonstration! The exhibitors have brought their products to show you how they work. Spend a few minutes listening to a product demonstration to learn a bit more about the products your teams are working with every day.
  
• Share your facility’s sticking points. Challenges you are facing can be alleviated by talking with the exhibitors. Having a better understanding of the issues that need to be addressed will help the exhibitors uncover the features of their products and services that will uniquely benefit you.
  
• Ask a question! You’re more likely to learn about the specific aspects of a product if you ask a simple question. For example: “Does this product integrate with systems/equipment I am currently using at my facility?” “Can you share how this product affected the outcomes of a facility similar to the size and scope of my own?” Simple questions like these can open the door to a more meaningful conversation.
  
• Conquer the floor with a colleague and approach the exhibitors with confidence. It may feel overwhelming when first entering the exhibit hall amidst the fellow attendees and volume of vendors. However, this is your time – Make sure you take advantage of it to learn the information you need to make an effective purchasing decision and pitch to your leadership team. You are the expert on your facility, so share information with vendors and they’ll help find your perfect product match.
  
• Keep an open mind and consider your future needs. While not all vendors will be offering something you need right now, you will eventually have needs in the future. Finding the right-fit vendor is more than just what products and services they offer. Take advantage of this time to get to know the team, culture, and whether they will be a strong partner for you when the time comes. You’ll have this information in your back pocket when you do have a need!

Continue your education in the Periop Networking & Innovation Hub! Exhibitors will be hosting CE sessions in-booth and in two OR Manager Innovation Theaters in the Periop Networking & Innovation Hub. This is a great opportunity to earn additional CE contact hours and dive deeper into the clinical and operational aspects of the surgical suite.

These sessions will take place in 30-minute increments, so you can visit with exhibitors in between your sessions, ask questions of the speakers, and connect with fellow attendees on the topic of discussion!

Earn 1 CE contact hour for every 2 Exhibitor CE sessions you attend!

The OR Manager Conference Poster Gallery provides a forum for presenting completed research or in-progress research with preliminary results. It is an opportunity to present research, performance improvement projects, or clinical practice innovations visually using graphs, illustrations, or photographs. We strive to promote communication and collaborative research among nurses, provide a setting for exchange of information and lessons learned, and explore advances in perioperative clinical practice. The poster gallery will be available for viewing throughout all exhibit hall hours. Attend during these times to meet the authors and earn 1 CE contact hour for every 3 posters you review.

Do you have research to share that will benefit the perioperative industry? Submit a poster proposal! Presenters can save up to 30% on conference registration.
