The Connect & Lead: Women in Colorectal Surgery event allows everyone to network, renew friendships, and make new contacts while enjoying coffee, mocktails, and hors'dourves. While the event's focus is unique challenges and opportunities specifically facing women in colorectal surgery, any Annual Meeting attendee supporting women's advancement is welcome to attend. Trainees are particularly encouraged to attend, as this event provides an opportunity to interact with experienced colon and rectal surgeons from various settings.
