Innovation Weekend hosted by SAGES/NBT and SDTS Summit starts June 3rd-5th 2021 AT HILTON AMERICAS-HOUSTON IN HOUSTON, TX . We are proud of the contribution of the faculty, industry leaders, support staff and attendees. Also participating, NOSCAR, SAGES Advocacy Summit Bootcamp (virtual) & Surgical Video Data Conference. The pre-eminent educational forum will focus on topics that will range from Surgical Artificial Intelligence and Digital Integration – The Multiport Robotic Platform Evolution - Surgical Robotics: The Next 5 Years - The Great Hospital Disruption - An Innovators Discussion on Morbid & Mortality - Bariatric/Foregut Procedures - Endolumenal Surgery. More topics being announced daily. For those who have attended SDTS or NBT in the past, participants know that the Summit is designed to be a different type of surgical meeting. It is a place where industry and providers can have an open dialogue about innovations in surgical technology and surgical practice. The agenda is structured to allow for all participants to engage in the discussion. Industry participants are welcome and encouraged to voice their opinions right next to surgeons and physicians. We want to foster comments, questions, and debate from everyone who has a reasoned viewpoint of how surgery is going to change in the next 5 to 10 years. There are many opportunities to engage at this year’s Innovation Weekend. So once again, welcome to the Summit and please speak up and have fun.
