Comments from 2023 Updates in General Surgery Attendees
“This was my first time at this event. I have been in practice as a general surgeon in small communities for almost 28 years. This conference has something for everyone and I like the idea of a ‘general surgery’ theme, rather than other conferences that are just ‘hernia’ or
‘breast’, for example. I liked the relaxed environment and the interactive Slido polls encouraging audience participation. I thought the selection of speakers was excellent. I liked the panel discussions where you got to see differing opinions or approaches to a situation, and the moderators did a great job scanning through the audience questions and quickly organizing these into succinct scenarios for the panel.”
“Great course for the working general surgeon. I was so glad to be back at this conference (this was my 2nd). I plan on
and look forward to seeing you all next year in Snowmass.”

“I think you’ve struck a healthy balance between ‘bread and butter’ general surgery, to ‘cool’ stuff only seen at academic institutions.”
“It continues to be the only conference I am excited to attend. It covers every day surgery practice topics, in a collegial, collaborative and interactive approach, for enhanced learning. Great way to spend time with colleagues, speakers, and family!”

“Thanks for a great conference! My husband and I loved the location. I think the relaxed interactive feel helped me learn things and question my practice compared to the ‘typical’ conference experience of tuning out while the 9th person in a row presents their cutting edge research
on a clinical condition I’ll never see or treat.”
