This conference aims to promote evidence-based practices, patient safety, professional development, and leadership in perioperative nursing.

I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to ASIORNA, the organizing committees, speakers, partners, and sponsors for their support in making the 8th ASIORNA conference possible.
