The world has drastically changed with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

One alteration to our daily lives is the practice of avoiding crowds in an effort to slow down the spread and decrease risk of exposure to coronavirus.

So, for everyone’s health and well-being, we’ve moved our popular Wild on Wounds Conference (WOW) to a virtual format this year.

WOW will take place from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. PST Sept. 24-27, which is a Thursday through Sunday.

For only $75, you can attend all four days of Wild on Wounds. This is a significant savings over previous years’ in-person, brick-and-mortar events.

During this event, you can expect to learn the latest research on wound care. Plus, you’ll have access to thought-provoking presentations, presented live, in real time by each speaker/expert.

And you won’t have to worry about missing any sessions because each speaker will deliver his or her presentation unopposed.

Same WOW experience from the comfort of your home

WCEI has creatively planned a virtual format for WOW that captures the experience of attending a physical event.

Additional perks

  • After watching each live session, you can participate in a live Q and A with each of our speakers.
  • You’ll have access to recordings of all our education sessions for up to 12 months after the WOW event.
  • You can earn up to 20 continuing education credits throughout the event. You also can earn these CEs later by viewing session recordings after WOW.
  • Expand your clinical knowledge and learn the latest in wound care research, treatments and products.
  • Each day offers access to our virtual exhibit hall. For two hours you’ll have access to representatives from 40 different vendors. Take the time to chat one-on-one with vendors, explore new wound care products, download product literature and get access to product videos.
  • Admission to our dedicated networking “lounges” so you can meet your fellow WOW attendees. Meet new wound care associates and friends and catch up with old ones.
  • Participate in and view our popular WOW poster session to present and share your wound care research.
  • Daily games, contests, raffles and opportunities to win prizes.

Meet colleagues from around the world

With the Wild on Wounds conference going virtual, attendance is open to anyone in the U.S. and abroad who has an internet connection. The virtual format provides a great opportunity to bring wound care education to not only wound care clinicians in the U.S., but also to those around the globe.
