A full-day virtual summit built specifically for OR nurses, surgical techs, PAs, NPs, surgeons, and OR professionals. Discover new products, engage live with manufacturers, and stay current — without leaving your city.
Virtual conferences have a reputation for being forgettable. We built Operative Summit to be different — specialty-specific, clinically focused, and worth your time.
Every session, every product, every presenter is relevant to your specialty. This isn't a general surgical conference — it's built for your practice.
We respect your time. Focused content built for your specialty. Live Q&A so you can ask the questions that actually matter to your cases.
No flights. No hotel. No time away from practice. Attend from your office, your home, or between cases. On-demand replay available post-event.
Implants, instruments, navigation systems, robotics — the innovation entering your OR. See it, ask about it, and understand it before it lands on your instrument table.
Live Q&A with manufacturer reps and clinical specialists. No booth banter — real questions, real answers, in a format that actually enables conversation.
Connect with OR nurses, surgical techs, PAs, and surgeons across the country who are navigating the same clinical environment you are.
Operative Summit is credentialed-only. Every attendee is verified — which means the conversations, questions, and connections are real.
You handle every device before it goes to the field. You open the packages, assess the instruments, and advocate for your OR. Operative Summit gives you first look at what's coming — so you can evaluate it on your terms, not just when it arrives at your table.
You're the first person to notice when a new instrument doesn't work the way it's supposed to — and the first to see when it's exactly right. Your judgment matters. Operative Summit puts you in direct conversation with the people who build the instruments you use.
You're in the room for the procedure and in the room for the purchasing conversation. Operative Summit helps you walk into those conversations informed — with hands-on product knowledge that makes you the most valuable person at the table.
You specify implants, champion new technology, and drive adoption at your institution. Operative Summit surfaces the innovations worth championing — so you can evaluate them before your rep does, on your schedule, at zero cost.
Every registrant is verified before gaining access — which means the community you're joining is the real thing.
The founding cohort for Operative Summit's inaugural event is forming now. Spots for credentialed OR professionals are free to attend — and limited.
Live product showcases, hands-on Q&A with manufacturers, and peer discussion — all focused on the innovations shaping orthopedic and spine surgery.
Coming soon: Plastic Surgery · General Surgery and more specialties — each on its own quarterly cadence.
Tickets are $20. Sponsor passes available. We'll send registration details as the event date is confirmed.
Yes. Operative Summit is free for all credentialed OR professionals. The event is funded entirely by vendor sponsorships. Your only investment is 90 minutes of your time.
We verify every registrant is an active perioperative clinician through NPI lookup and license verification before granting event access. This keeps the community clean and keeps the quality of conversation high.
Every session is recorded and available on-demand for 30 days after the live event. You'll have access to all showcases, Q&A replays, and vendor booth content after the summit closes.
We're actively working on CME accreditation for future events. Stay tuned — we'll announce when accreditation is confirmed.
Operative Summit runs on vFairs — an enterprise virtual event platform with photorealistic 3D booths, live Q&A, networking lounges, and 99.9% uptime. You'll need a desktop or laptop browser. No app required.
Each specialty runs on its own quarterly cadence — four events per year, per specialty. The inaugural summit focuses on Orthopedics & Spine in Fall 2026. Plastic Surgery, General Surgery, and additional specialties follow. As we scale, the goal is multiple summits per month across disciplines.
Orthopedics & Spine — Fall 2026. Founding registration is now open.
