In its 6th year, OVBC is now a unique ecosystem event in the orthopedic health industry. The conference remains loyal to its mission to break the silos by bringing together physicians, executives, nurses, and pharma leaders to solve the most pressing problems and to actualize the most promising value-based care opportunities in the musculoskeletal settings. This conference focuses on the operational, clinical, and financial aspects of the orthopedic practice.

At a time when the future musculoskeletal healthcare is evolving, we decided to devote one day of the meeting to discussions on the future of orthopedics. This new component will focus on the future of clinical care, business, innovation, and operational models. Together, these two conferences provide an amazing weekend experience in the beautiful settings of Newport Beach.
