This tropical-inspired getaway will serve as the backdrop for the only event dedicated to ASCs in Texas. Before, after, and throughout the conference, attendees can enjoy the sights and spots offered up by Montgomery, Houston, and beyond.

Every year, the Texas Ambulatory Surgery Center Society (TASCS) gathers the ambulatory care industry together at its annual conference, and this year, the education, networking, learning, and marketing opportunities will take place at Margaritaville Lake Resort, Lake Conroe | Houston.

This Jimmy Buffett-inspired resort can be found on over 180 lakefront acres in Montgomery, Texas, and boasts five Margaritaville restaurants & bars, a spa, a water park, a golf course, and island-inspired suites & cottages. There are even sunset cruises offered (so, sponsors, keep that in mind, as that would be a beautiful way to wrap up the day). Before, after, and in between sessions, conference attendees will be able to take advantage of these amenities. Plus, those who show up a day earlier or turn the trip into a vacation by staying even longer can take in even more of the area.

Lake Conroe is known for offering recreational activities such as boating, fishing, swimming, and golfing. There are also museums and mini golf courses, wineries and water sports. There is the Sam Houston National Forest in the nearby city of New Waverly, where visitors enjoy hiking, boating, fishing, biking, and camping.

Three major cities are all about an hour away from the resort, as well:

• Houston, home of Space Center Houston, a museum and the official visitor center for NASA Johnson Space Center 
• Huntsville, with everything from antique stores and performing arts venues to the Sam Houston Memorial Museum and a giant Sam Houston statue
• College Station, where one can partake in axe throwing, escape rooms, indoor rock climbing, shopping, or checking out Texas A&M University 

The TASCS annual conference will be packed full of must-know information for those who work in and with ambulatory surgery centers. But, in addition, the TASCS team knows that the field of healthcare, in particular, needs a little pampering, needs to have a little fun, and needs this getaway to Margaritaville.

Therefore, we urge you all to secure your spots by registering. And whether you take in the resort’s spa, explore nearby tourist attractions in Texas, or have an upcoming vacation planned, we are wishing you all a happy and healthy summer!
