For over 40 years, the NNBA has supported nurses in breaking free from traditional bedside roles and building meaningful, life-changing businesses. Our community and annual conference continue to set the standard for nurse entrepreneurship.

4 weeks to go!


Nurse entrepreneurs, consultants, executives, and innovators are heading to Scottsdale this July for the 41st NNBA Annual Conference — live sessions, exhibitors, and connections that don't end when the event does.


Will you be there?

All of those nurses are building something.


Practices, agencies, consultancies, coaching businesses — and they all need support to grow.


They come looking for partners in home care, legal, finance, branding, tech, insurance, and business development. If your company provides it, Scottsdale is where you meet them face to face.


Sponsor and exhibitor applications are still open!

A Note From Nena

Hi Nurses,


We're officially four weeks out from the 41st NNBA Annual Conference and the excitement is really starting to build!


If you'll be there, you can expect live sessions, exhibitors, and the kind of connections that have launched countless nurse-owned businesses over the years. If you haven't registered yet, now is the time!


If you missed my recent live conversation with this year's keynote speaker, Dan Weberg, the replay is now available. We covered innovation, AI, leadership, and career ownership, and it's a real preview of what he'll bring to the stage in Scottsdale.


There's a lot happening, and all of it points to the same thing: nurses owning their futures. We know stepping outside of your comfort zone, starting a business, changing careers, or pursuing a new dream isn't always easy. Nursing itself isn't easy. But if there's one thing we've learned from the thousands of nurses who've come through NNBA over the years, it's that the journey is worth it. The opportunities, freedom, impact, and fulfillment that come from betting on yourself can be life changing.


Whether you're just exploring what's possible or you're already building something of your own, we hope you'll join us in Scottsdale. I can't wait to see you there!

With gratitude,

Nena
