Becker's Annual Meeting The Business & Operations of ASCs 2026

It is held at Swissotel Chicago.

The organizer identifies ASC executives and administrators as attendees.

It is most useful for ASC administrators and executives who want a large, business-focused meeting, since it reports 1,000+ executive-level attendees, 60+ sessions and 225+ ASC speakers across spine, orthopedics, GI, ophthalmology and cardiology. Speakers include leaders from the Ambulatory Surgery Center Association and state ASC associations, and sessions cover topics like private equity strategies, which suits owners and operators weighing growth or partnerships. Clinicians wanting hands-on clinical education would get less from it, as would anyone drawn mainly by the celebrity keynotes, since the core program is business and operations.

Healthcare executives at business conferences in a downtown Chicago hotel usually wear business professional or sharp business casual, with layers for late-October weather.
