WOCNext 2027

How it compares

SAWC Spring offers a different center of gravity. Its collaboration with the Wound Healing Society brings the wider wound-care team together, including physicians, podiatrists, therapists, and researchers. The 2026 prospectus planned 170 or more exhibitors and access to 1,800 healthcare professionals. It is a strong alternative for wound-healing research or a product portfolio aimed across several clinical disciplines. WOCNext is the more direct fit when ostomy and continence need equal weight alongside wounds.

SAWC Fall adds a US practice-management angle through its Business Navigator sessions on reimbursement, documentation, and audits. Its pressure-injury education with NPIAP and mobile wound-care track suit teams changing how they deliver wound services. That program complements WOCNext for nurses whose responsibilities extend into operations.

For a European wound-care market, EWMA Conference brings a broader international clinical and industry community. WOCNext concentrates the conversation around the WOC nurse and the practical relationship between wound, ostomy, and continence care. The choice rests on the clinical audience and the product application: a specialist nursing team has different needs from a multidisciplinary wound center or a supplier building European distribution.

WOCNext suits nurses and suppliers whose work connects wound treatment, ostomy care, and continence management in everyday clinical practice.

Who exhibits

The 2027 directory brings Coloplast, Hollister, and Convatec together with Solventum, Mölnlycke, Stryker, and specialist suppliers. Stealth Belt and Stomagienics sit alongside wound-care companies, imaging businesses such as WoundVision and WoundZoom, and training providers including WEB WOC Programs. That mix makes the exhibition useful across a WOC service: ostomy accessories, wound products, equipment, assessment technology, and professional education share the same floor. The directory also includes nursing organizations and patient associations.

WOCNext 2027

WOCNext 2027 moves to Savannah with a program spanning wound, ostomy, continence, and foot and nail care. More than 50 sessions and a hands-on workshop are planned. The abstract program introduces literature reviews alongside research, case series, and practice innovation. Accepted work will appear in a JWOCN supplement, and the highest-scoring abstracts will be considered for oral presentation. The supplier exhibition includes the major ostomy brands alongside wound-care and assessment specialists.

• For a research-focused visit, include the Abstracts General Session: top-ranked studies are considered for oral presentation, and poster Merit Awards are announced there.
• The WOCNext contact-hour program centers on educational sessions. Use the poster hall to explore case series and practice innovations alongside those sessions.
• For a service covering both stomas and wounds, compare the ostomy accessories from Stealth Belt and Stomagienics with the broader portfolios of Hollister, Coloplast, and Convatec.
