We're back from New Orleans and thrilled with the excitement surrounding the sixth annual OR Excellence conference. A record number of surgical leaders joined us in the Big Easy to network with colleagues, connect with leading exhibitors and learn from incredible expert speakers. It's obvious everyone had a fun and productive time.

But don't take our word for it — check out the memorable sights from the general sessions and nighttime fun in the exhibit hall. (Photos by Peter Forest and Lynda Dowman Simon, RN.)

If you couldn't make it to New Orleans, plan on joining us next year in San Antonio from Oct. 13 to 16 for OR Excellence, surgery's most interactive, most informative and friendliest conference.
