Poster Presentations
The OR Manager Conference Poster Gallery provides a forum for presenting completed research or in-progress research with preliminary results. It is an opportunity to present research, performance improvement projects, or clinical practice innovations visually using graphs, illustrations, or photographs. We strive to promote communication and collaborative research among nurses, provide a setting for exchange of information and lessons learned, and explore advances in perioperative clinical practice.
The Poster Gallery will be open during all Periop Networking & Innovation Hub hours. Poster Presentations will take place Monday, October 28, from 4:30-5:00 pm (Happy Hour!), and Tuesday, October 29, from 10:15-10:45 am.
POSTER PRESENTATION AWARDS
2024 will mark our third year providing awards for the top three poster presenters during the OR Manager Conference.
Posters will be evaluated based on originality and relevance to perioperative leadership, and their ability to offer a new approach to a concept to solve a problem related to perioperative management and leadership.
Congratulations to the 2022 & 2023 OR Manager Conference Poster Award Winners!
