Dear colleagues, 
 

Education and clinical preparation are the foundation of nurse practitioner (NP) practice. That’s why, on behalf of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners® (AANP), I’m excited to invite you to the 2026 AANP National Conference, June 23–27, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

AANP’s commitment to empower NPs through practice, education, advocacy, research and leadership is reflected in every part of this exceptional and well-curated conference. You can earn up to 32 contact hours (CH) of continuing education (CE) credit through the more than 330 expert faculty sessions, on-demand courses and hands-on workshops. Poster presentations, industry-sponsored product theaters and the Exhibit Hall will further enhance your overall conference experience.

The saying “What Happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas” may not always hold true! After attending #AANP26, you will return to your practices better informed, motivated and equipped to advance the NP role with new insights on clinical care, evolving research and the latest legislative, regulatory and policy updates affecting NP practice.

Get ready for an adrenaline rush as this year’s opening session keynote will be internationally renowned speaker, performing artist and communication strategist Victoria Labalme. She will present her vibrant, Rock the Room® approach for effective communication. Victoria’s dynamic strategies will empower NPs to communicate more boldly and effectively, whether advocating for patients, leading teams or shaping the future of our profession.

On behalf of the AANP Board of Directors, I encourage you to register for #AANP26 and immerse yourself in the vibrant energy of our host city. Viva Las Vegas!
