Ambulatory surgery has experienced tremendous growth during recent years. We continue to do more complex procedures and treat more complex patients, some of whom are vulnerable such as the elderly, children, children with special needs, mentally disabled and many more. Thanks to innovation in surgery, anesthesia, and nursing but above all thanks to interdisciplinary teamwork we can guarantee safe home discharge for everybody all over the world.

This event will address to a multidisciplinary public: Surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, managers, in short anyone with a heart for ambulatory surgery/anesthesia. We expect around 1.000 delegates from all over the world to attend the event.

Local and international speakers, mainly surgeons, anesthesiologists and nurses will be present, and several workshops will be organized.

We are planning an excellent program; updates will be presented on our website (http://theiaas.net and www.nordaf.no).

In the planning and implentation of a congress of this magnitude and with this diversity of surgical specialities it of utmost importance that we have a solid and good cooperation with the sponsors. In that regard, we wish to emphasize that we will try our best to accomodate your needs or request to the best of our abilities.
