Periop Leader Network

For nearly four decades, OR Manager has been the trusted resource for perioperative leaders seeking news, insights, and community. But the perioperative landscape has evolved—care is shifting across hospital operating rooms, ambulatory surgery centers, and hybrid settings, with leaders facing new challenges that extend beyond the “OR.” To reflect this broader, more inclusive mission, we are excited to announce that OR Manager will rebrand in 2026 as Periop Leader Network.

This new name better captures who we serve and the community we’ve built: the full spectrum of perioperative leaders and decision-makers who drive surgical excellence. Periop Leader Network will continue to deliver the daily reporting, thought leadership, and educational opportunities our audience relies on, while expanding our focus on ambulatory surgery, business management, and emerging technologies.

The monthly publication, launched in 1985, provides critical information, analysis, and best practices for management of the surgical suite. Topics include advances in technology, data analytics, standards and regulations, and process changes designed to enhance all aspects of surgical patient care.

OR a.m. delivers daily news at the start of each day. Curated by an OR nurse, OR a.m. offers the most current and relevant information that OR managers need to know to do their jobs.

The OR Manager Conference attracts more than 1,000 perioperative leaders, OR directors, managers, OR business managers, and other decision makers involved in the management of the surgical suite. The OR Manager Conference includes tracks for OR business managers, ambulatory surgery center managers, and new OR managers, as well as education for OR leaders with 10+ years of experience.

The OR Business Management Conference is an opportunity for operating room business managers and directors to increase their knowledge of OR processes, develop ways to increase efficiencies in surgical services, and network with colleagues.
