2025 Annual Conference

Thank you for attending!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 2025 MNASCA Annual Conference, held October 9–10 at the Minneapolis Marriott Southwest! We were excited to welcome ASC leaders and healthcare professionals from across the region for two days of insightful discussion, professional networking, and actionable learning.

Attendees gained practical strategies to navigate today’s ever-evolving outpatient care landscape—from legislative updates and compliance tools to patient-centered operational practices. Whether you were there for the full conference or a single session, we appreciate your engagement and participation.

Conference Highlights:

  • Opening Keynote – Tane Danger
    Tane kicked off the event with an energizing session on how improvisational techniques can strengthen communication, collaboration, and creativity in clinical leadership.
  • Closing Keynote – Sarah Ciavarri
    Sarah wrapped up the event by busting common leadership myths and offering grounded, practical tools for leading with courage and clarity.
  • Breakout Sessions & Roundtables
    From compliance tips to patient experience strategies, breakout sessions offered attendees valuable takeaways they could immediately apply in their organizations.
  • Legislative & Regulatory Updates
    Tom Poul (MNASCA) and Stephen Abresch (ASCA) provided updates on the 2025 Minnesota Legislative Session and key federal policies impacting ASCs and outpatient healthcare.
  • Networking & Exhibits
    The exhibit hall buzzed with connections, resources, and innovative solutions from MNASCA’s valued sponsors and exhibitors.
