Global Nursing Innovation Hits the Stage: The 2026 ICN NP/APN Network Conference in Nashville

Join the NurseCoaching.com Team at ICN NP/APN 2026!

The NurseCoaching.com team is thrilled to announce we’ll be heading to Nashville for the 14th ICN NP/APN Network Conference this September!

This isn’t just any conference; it’s the 25th Anniversary of the ICN NP/APN Network, and for the first time in its history, this premier global event is being held right here in the U.S. at the Music City Center. Hosted by Vanderbilt University School of Nursing, the 2026 theme—“Advanced Practice Nurses: United for Global Impact, Innovation, and Care”—resonates deeply with our mission to support and elevate the nursing profession.

Why We’re Packing Our Bags

We are eager to dive into a program that reflects the massive shifts happening in global healthcare. Here is what we are most looking forward to:

  • Global Networking: Connecting with over 2,000 attendees from 140+ nations to share how holistic coaching and advanced practice can work hand-in-hand.
  • Cutting-Edge Education: With 650+ sessions and 8 distinct tracks—including Technology, Health Policy, and Leadership—there is an incredible wealth of knowledge to bring back to our community.
  • Inspiring Voices: We can’t wait to hear from keynote speakers like Tad Worku, who perfectly blends the art of music with the science of nursing.
  • Earning Credits: Between the main sessions and pre-conference workshops, there’s the opportunity to earn up to 34.75 CE credits.

Let’s Connect in Music City!

While the sessions are the priority, we’re also looking forward to the “Night Out at Vanderbilt” for some classic Southern hospitality and live music.

If you’re attending, we’d love to meet you! Whether you are a Nurse Practitioner, Clinical Nurse Specialist, or Midwife, let’s discuss how we can drive health equity and innovation together.
