Upcoming Events

As an overview, the International ICNLA CNL Conference in 2025 will cover The CNL Advantage: Sustaining Change. The conference is an opportunity for all of us who are involved in the Clinical Nurse Leader movement to collaborate, share and learn from each other’s successes and experiences. 

It provides an opportunity to network and build relationships that strengthen our community of practice. This event is the first of its kind for CNLs to get involved and begin or continue your education.

The conference provides a national forum for all healthcare and academic audiences currently implementing, or interested in exploring CNL education and practice. Major health systems across the nation have discovered how CNLS transform practice and improve care. The conference showcases these achievements in education and practice, and further provides tools to enhance an understanding of the changing healthcare environment with value added by CNLs. The role of CNLs is growing and expanding outside the hospital. This conference will provide a great opportunity to network and learn about the expansive work of CNLs across the healthcare continuum. 

Celebrate CNL Excellence in Education & Practice

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.
