The 2025 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.
This year’s annual event will be held virtually on Thursday and Friday November 20th and 21st, 2025. The event starts at 8am Eastern Time (5 am Pacific) and ends at 5:30 pm EST and 2:30 PST.
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!
