2024 Multi-State Virtual ASC Conference

2024 Multi-State Virtual ASC Conference

The 2024 Multi-State ASC Conference

 

Ambulatory Surgery Center leaders and managers face many challenges in running their ASC, not the least of which is finding the time and the money to send all of their staff to multiple conferences each year.  However, the need for on-going education is even bigger today.  ASC Central and the ASC Podcast with John Goehle in conjunction with various state associations decided to come together to present a virtual conference to help fill the void.  Over a two day period we will present a variety of topics for both the leaders in the ASC as well as staff members that deal with the subject areas.

While the sessions will be presented live (virtually), recordings of each session will be available after the conference for a period of six months.

The ASC Central Virtual Conferences are NOT your typical “webinar” – they are a true conference, with the on-going interaction among the presenters and the ability to ask questions in real time.  Our virtual conferences are not just educational, they are entertaining!

Take full advantage of your association membership and sign up today by following the links for your association, but remember – you have to be a member to attend for no charge!!  

Members of the following State Associations may attend for no cost.  Just click on the appropriate state link and we will verify your membership with the state.  For non-State Association members, you may purchase a ticket to access the event.
