YOUR DEVELOPMENT AS AN ASC NURSE LEADER
Hosted by

CONFERENCE PROGRAM
As an ASC nurse leader, your role is multifaceted, balancing clinical oversight, operational efficiency, regulatory compliance, and team leadership. Each year, we design a program that not only addresses these core responsibilities but also helps you grow as a strategic leader in a rapidly evolving healthcare environment.
The 2026 program features globally recognized keynote speaker Courtney Clark and the return of audience favorite Heather Lambert. With nine thoughtfully curated sessions, including interactive panels and hands-on workshops, you’ll gain practical tools, fresh insights, and renewed inspiration tailored specifically to your unique role.
Every session, even those focused on clinical operations, is approached through a leadership lens. We build the agenda based on attendee feedback to ensure it reflects your real-world challenges and goals.
You’ll also have dedicated time to connect with peers and participate in facilitated roundtable discussions, creating space for meaningful dialogue and shared learning.

WHAT PREVIOUS ATTENDEES HAVE TO SAY...
“The ASC NLC was an excellent experience. It was relevant to all nurse leaders, seasoned or brand new. The networking was phenomenal. The topics covered were important to all types of ASCs. The first annual conference has set the bar high. I look forward to attending next year and being a part of the growth.”
“This is the first conference I have attended that every speaker gave me something to take back to my ASC. The variety of topics actually encompassed what I do as a nurse leader, and addressed the struggles I face on a daily basis. It gave me so many tools to grow and develop myself and my staff. Highly recommend!”
“The ASC Nurse Leadership Conference was perfect and just what I was looking for. It had great and pertinent sessions for the ASC leader which is what drew me to attend this conference over others. The speakers did not disappoint, I loved their enthusiasm and passion to help all of the ASC leaders at the conference. It was a very refreshing and inspiring event.”
