Program Committee

The Periop Leader Week, formerly OR Manager Conference & OR Business Management Summit, program is put together by a renowned group of perioperative professionals with experience running successful surgical suites in both inpatient and outpatient settings. Their expertise and diversified experiences offer you comprehensive lessons with actionable takeaways—real-world solutions in leadership, operations efficiency, and educational tools—to help you effectively manage your perioperative suite from admission to discharge to reprocessing and beyond.

The Periop Leader Network team extends many thanks to our committee members! We are grateful for their time and commitment to Periop Leader Week, as well as serving the perioperative community.
