Plan your experience
2 Days. 3 Tracks. 50+ Speakers.
The program is built around the decisions you're actually trying to make — not a predetermined path. Every session, every track, every conversation is yours to choose. Here's what to expect.
Session tracks
Find your tracks
All 3 tracks are open to every attendee. Most leaders move across tracks over the two days, following the decisions they're trying to make rather than staying in one functional lane.

What Anchors Each Day
Each day is anchored by key conversations, with time between sessions for the discussions that shape how ideas are applied. Some of the most valuable moments happen outside the session room, in the exhibit hall, over lunch, and between meetings.

If that's your work, you belong at Becker's.
The leaders running perioperative services at scale will be in Chicago in September. Two days with the people who've done it, are doing it, and will tell you exactly how.
