Join us at the 2026 Opportunity & Impact in Nursing Summit, where nurses and healthcare leaders come together to expand opportunity, strengthen pathways, and drive real action across the nursing profession.
This Summit is where purpose meets progress—where we unite to remove barriers, amplify key voices, and advance fairness and representation through strategies that support a strong and sustainable nursing workforce.
Together, we will accelerate action, strengthen a resilient workforce, and deepen the cross-sector collaboration needed to create lasting impact. Secure your seat now.
Building on the Momentum from 2025
A strong, supported nursing workforce is essential to improving outcomes for all patients and communities. In February 2025, more than 250 nursing leaders, educators, innovators, and changemakers convened at the inaugural Summit to advance representation, expand pathways, and chart a course for meaningful progress.
Through powerful discussions, real-world success stories, and a shared commitment to action, participants moved beyond conversation toward measurable change. The Summit closed with a call to carry this work forward, ensuring every attendee was equipped and inspired to drive impact in their organizations.
This is only the beginning. The work continues, and together we will keep advancing a future where every nurse has access to opportunity, support, and the resources to thrive.
