58th World Advanced Nursing and Nursing Practice Congress

Why to attend?

Networking – participating in nursing conferences gives you a way to meet, interact with, and make contacts with other experts in your specialty area. Most conferences will have authors, researchers, or clinicians who are recognized experts in their field. Many times you will get a chance to interact with these individuals in a question and answer format. This means you will have a real-time opportunity to have your questions answered by those with a proven track record. Furthermore, you can network with nurses from other locations throughout the country to see how they approach similar dilemmas you face and develop new professional relationships. Before you attend the conference it’s a good idea to create your own business cards so you can easily share your contact information to others.

Continuing education and skill development – nursing conferences offer a chance for you to learn about several educational advancements in one place. Presentations are designed to introduce you to new technologies, train you to use new equipment, or provide you with the opportunity to attend break-out sessions where you learn about the latest advances in your specialty area. Consider nursing conferences to be a one-stop opportunity to get up-to-date with the latest technologies and practices.

Career advancement – keeping up with new advances in the profession will help you to advance your career and potentially allow you to earn more money. Employers like to see that you are committed to your job and attending conferences is one way you can show your employer that you are lifelong learner. Some conferences provide you with special training sessions for new equipment or technologies that will benefit the patients and unit where you work. Take advantages of these opportunities by volunteering to be the lead trainer for new technology on the unit where you work. The new skills you can obtain may help train other staff members in your unit, receive a job promotion, or expose you to new business opportunities.
