Registration is open for the 11th Annual ANA-NY Conference!

World-class speakers, engaging panel discussions, and hands-on workshops — the 11th Annual ANA-NY Conference will have it all! 

Our theme for 2023 is Nurses, Lighting the Way, and that’s what we plan to do. We are bringing together New York’s nursing professionals to discuss the future of health care. This conference will explore the many ways that nurses can improve health care for their patients and for themselves. From supportive and healthy work environments to healthcare innovation and health equity, diversity, inclusion, and belonging, the conference will offer attendees an unparalleled opportunity to learn, grow, and connect with their peers. 

In addition to our great headliners, you’ll also have a chance to see the amazing work that nurses across the state are doing. Nurses just like you are working tirelessly to put together interesting and innovative posters and presentations to share with their peers. You will also have time to network with vendors, schools, and exhibitors who are excited to share their products, services, and opportunities.

Held at the beautiful, and centrally located, Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, NY, this year's conference promises to be an unforgettable experience. Attendees will gain new insights into the nursing profession and leave feeling inspired and empowered to take their careers to the next level. Whether you're a seasoned nurse looking to stay up-to-date on the latest trends or a new nursing student looking to learn more about the field, the ANA-NY Conference is the perfect opportunity to connect with other professionals, share ideas, and make lasting connections. Don't miss out on this chance to be inspired and informed – sign up today for the 11th Annual ANA-NY Conference and get ready to join nurses from across the state in lighting the way towards a brighter future for healthcare!
