AACN's Baccalaureate Education Conference is a forum for faculty, deans, and other academic leaders engaged in undergraduate and pre-licensure nursing education programs.
Enhance your knowledge and expertise by participating in a variety of interactive learning formats, including plenary and breakout sessions, focused discussions, abstract presentations, and more. Topics and educational content are carefully selected to help you strengthen your role as an academic nursing leader and to foster a great team learning experience at the same time.
Our speakers are industry experts and transformational leaders who will share thought-provoking views and trendsetting ideas, strategies and solutions impacting health outcomes, and advice for navigating the challenges in higher education.
View innovative abstracts presenting programs, courses, initiatives, and evaluation strategies that address the many changes and challenges in baccalaureate and other professional entry-level programs. Immerse yourself in a proactive series of abstract presentations and spend valuable time mingling with your colleagues. Poster viewing is available during the Baccalaureate Education Conference as well as the joint reception for the Faculty Development Conference and the Fall Executive Development Series.
There is no better way than connecting in person with your peers to collaborate on issues important to your institution, to share your challenges and get the support you need, and to be inspired by each other’s success stories. Dedicated networking time is available to you throughout the conference for enriching peer-to-peer interaction.
