APNA Festival of Nursing 2026

What’ll be different in 2026?

• Bigger focus on practical skills: with workshops throughout the three-day program on topics like CPR, ECGs, wound management, chronic care, mental health and leadership.
• Deeper streams, better choices: dive into prevention and chronic care, explore the latest in immunisation across the lifetime or get in-depth with wound solutions.
• Future-focused keynotes: from designated RN prescribing to AI in health care, you’ll hear directly from leaders on what’s next for nursing.
• Curated by expert nurses: every session is designed by nurses, for nurses – grounded in real-world practice and relevance.
