A Note From Nena

Hi Nurses,


This is it. Tomorrow, NNBA 2026 kicks off in Scottsdale.


We've been building toward this for months, and it's finally here. The conference opens tomorrow with our Impact Intensives which are hands-on workshops built to help you gain clarity and start putting AI to work in your business.


From there, we've got two full days of powerhouse speakers covering marketing, leadership, legal topics, publishing, wellness, business strategy, and more.


We'll also have over 20 exhibitors and sponsors on-site with resources, tools, and giveaways created specifically for nurse entrepreneurs. Take your time to explore what they're offering. You may find exactly what your business needs to get you to the next level!


If you haven't registered yet, there's still time to join us. And if you can't make it this year, we'll be sharing highlights, speaker moments, and behind-the-scenes updates all week on social, so stay tuned!


Nursing has never been easy. But the ones who show up for themselves, and for each other, are the ones who keep growing. See you tomorrow in Scottsdale!

With gratitude,

Nena
