*WAIS is the Premiere Western Region ConferenceFor information and networking in the field of minimally-invasive, image-guided procedures (MIIPs) and technology. Co-sponsored by SIR, our conference is ACCME accredited and offers the highly sought after SACME credits for MOC.

* Thought Leader DiscussionsA key focus for WAIS leadership is to provide an interactive forum for collaboration and the sharing of ideas, successes, and failures that advances all industry stakeholders. Diamond and Platinum Exhibitors will have dedicated sessions with the faculty of their choosing.

* Increased AttendanceThe word is out about the value and productive networking at the annual WAIS conference. In recent years, we have opened registration to a limited number of non-members, allowing colleagues from beyond the Western Region to participate. We expect to reach peak attendance this year. Our goal is to maintain the unique, intimate experience of WAIS.
