With a focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion, CANP is pleased to host three affinity lounges designed to give NPs an opportunity to gather informally with colleagues in interactive safe spaces. The lounges are open to all who wish to learn, contribute, network, and/or make friends. Join one or visit any group that is meaningful to you.
BIPOC: Created to address the specific challenges and concerns of people of color, this is the place to discuss experiences, build connections, and foster advocacy.
LGBTQIA+: This space encourages the development of a support system through experiences, observations, ideas, and strategies.
Health Justice: An all-inclusive gathering, this is the place for productive conversations about equity in health care and anti-oppressive health justice work.
We’re raising important funds at the Conference for our Political Action Committee. This is a vital component of CANP’s legislative advocacy efforts and enables us to make contributions to support causes and candidates championing nurse practitioners. A well-funded PAC helps us show strength in numbers. Make sure to stop by the PAC booth in the Expo Hall (#213) to learn more and participate in the Silent Auction featuring vacation stays, Apple products and exclusive gift cards.
Greet old friends, make new connections, and take another spin through the Expo. It’s a great way to celebrate the opening day of the conference.
Held on the verdant and spacious Disneyland Hotel Adventure Lawn, this is the social event of the conference. Enjoy food, drinks, DJ and dancing. The cost is $50 per person, and a guest pass is $75. Tickets are available at the CANP registration desk through 4:00 pm on Wednesday, March 20.
After the conference, we’ll be posting recordings of the (2) General Sessions and all the In-Track Sessions. These will be available via the conference app beginning 14 days after the conference. We’ll notify you via email.
