Top Nursing Conferences for 2021

Nursing conferences are a great investment for nurses. They provide the perfect opportunity to stay up to date on the latest research and nursing best practices. There is also ample opportunity to network with fellow nursing professionals, earn CEU contact hours, and simply escape your usual work environment.

Sifting through the endless lists of nursing conferences can be a daunting task. Luckily, we’ve done the hard work for you by compiling a list of both virtual and in-person nursing conferences.

Some conferences already have aired but are offering on-demand access to materials and sessions through specific dates in 2021. Some organizations are still planning for 2021.
