Connect with Academic Nursing Leaders | Raise Brand Awareness | Shape the Future of Nursing
The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) is the national voice for academic nursing. AACN works to establish quality standards for nursing education; assists schools in implementing those standards; influences the nursing profession to improve health care; and promotes public support for professional nursing education, research, and practice.
Participation in AACN Conferences helps strengthen your strategic alliances with leaders in academic nursing and provides a targeted opportunity to showcase your products and services.
AACN is the driving force for leadership, innovation, and excellence in academic nursing. Each year, we bring together top leaders and faculty from nursing schools nationwide to share experiences and success stories, connect with noted thought leaders, and shape the future of nursing.
