The Education & Innovation Center is the hands-on space in the SAGES exhibit hall.

Stations are led by SAGES members. Attendees walking the hall stop in, work with their hands, and learn something they can take back to their practice. Simulation, new techniques, new technology, all of it live and in person.

Applications to lead a station at SAGES 2027 open September 1 and close September 30. Learn more: https://www.sages2027.org/sages-2027-education-and-innovation-center-station-application/

To help guide future initiatives, the SAGES Military Committee is asking all SAGES members to complete a brief survey. The information collected will help us better understand our members, identify opportunities for future symposium content and educational programming, and ensure that the Military Committee continues to address topics that are meaningful and relevant to the SAGES community.
