From the March 2012 issue of HealthCare Business News magazine

During the event there will be several awards presented, including Outstanding Achievement awards in the areas of Perioperative Clinical Nursing Practice, Mentorship, Public Policy Advocacy, State Council Leadership, and Volunteerism.

Exhibitions and education sessions
Over the course of three days, the Congress will be hosting more than a dozen hours worth of exhibition time, during which visitors can learn about new products, services and career development opportunities.

Also at this year’s show, attendees will be able to choose from 12 education tracks: Ambulatory, Clinical, Educator, Ethics/Legal, Evidence-Based/Research, Infection Control/Infection Prevention, Informatics, International, Leadership/Management, Professional Development/Issues, Quality, and Sterile Processing. Hot topic sessions will touch upon issues such as extreme positioning for MIS, OR environmental hygiene and validating competencies for perioperative nursing.

“New technologies continue to influence how we run the event and how we present our education sessions,” said Davis. “The attendees can document their earned CE credits while they’re still at the conference, exhibitors can track their leads electronically, and we have rooms where attendees can watch multiple sessions, live, on large screens.”

Virtual Congress
Similar to the annual conferences hosted by RSNA and HIMSS, the 2012 AORN Congress will be offering virtual features such as live and on-demand sessions, a networking lounge and a virtual exhibit floor.

“After the conference, the virtual Congress will offer ten recorded, edited, online education sessions with CE credits that can be accessed anytime from the AORN website,” said Davis.
