Meet the Voices Behind Periop Leader Week

The speakers at Periop Leader Week are leaders just like you: directors, managers, administrators, and business professionals who live and breathe perioperative services every day. They represent the full spectrum of our community: hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, perianesthesia care, sterile processing, and beyond.

These aren’t just keynote names on a program. They’re colleagues who’ve tackled the same staffing challenges, navigated the same operational pressures, and built teams that thrive in some of healthcare’s most demanding environments.

Come ready to learn from people who get it, because they’re in it with you.
