Wild on Wounds℠ (WOW) is the national wound conference designed for healthcare professionals interested in enhancing their knowledge of skin and wound management. Clinicians come from all over the U.S. to network and participate in our hands-on workshops and learn new and advanced wound care treatments and technologies to better care for patients. Join over a thousand clinicians at this amazing event.

INNOVATIVE – INTERACTIVE – INFORMATIVE

WOW brings clinicians together to learn and share ideas on what works, what doesn't, and what's new in wound care. 

This year, fully immerse yourself in a four-day, all-out learning experience. Get ready to see, touch, and learn as you participate in simulation labs, interactive mock trials, hands-on debridement and lymphedema labs, as well as interacting with our exhibitors. 

WOW is all about solutions now, not theories later. It’s about learning and innovation through teaching and training — not talking and telling. 

It's about making a difference in your patients’ lives and staying on top of the skin, wound, and ostomy management industry.

Join us and elevate your wound care skills to the next level!

Catch a BUZZ! The Buzz Report is where you'll find out what's hot in wound care, including new products, guidelines, resources, and tools. It's an information-packed session that, just by itself, is worth the trip.

Improve your skills. Elevate your clinical skills, with a powerful lineup of interactive and advanced how-to sessions, along with plenty of hands-on workshops. Participate in product training with industry experts and advance your wound care tech knowledge.

Meet your people. Sure, online interaction is great, but nothing beats meeting talented colleagues in person. WOW provides the kind of networking opportunities that allow you to truly engage with others in a meaningful way.

Tax-deduction opportunity! If attending the WOW conference benefits your business or contributes to your continuing education, you can write off your travel expenses.

Have fun! Wound care is serious business. Whether staying abreast of healthcare reform changes or learning new treatment guidelines, being the best at what we do is paramount. And giving yourself the gift of this conference and everything it offers is a tangible way to revitalize, re-energize, and find your wound care mojo.
