2026 American Nurses Enterprise Celebration Dinner

Celebrate 130 Years of Nursing Leadership in Chicago

On October 28, 2026, join leaders from across the nursing profession in Chicago to celebrate the 130th anniversary of the American Nurses Association at the 2026 American Nurses Enterprise Celebration Dinner, co-located at the American Nurses Credentialing Center Magnet Pathway Conference which attracts over 15,000 nurses from across the U.S. and the world.

Taking place at the Marriott Marquis Chicago, this special evening will honor the extraordinary impact of nurses and the vital work being done to advance the profession. Most importantly, it will raise critical philanthropic support for the American Nurses Foundation, whose grants and scholarships empower nurses to lead research and innovation, well-being initiatives, and scholarships and fellowships that strengthen the nursing pipeline, empowering nurses to lead change and advance healthcare nationwide.

Your participation does more than secure a seat at this milestone celebration, it directly fuels opportunities for nurses to grow, lead, and transform healthcare.

 
Join us in celebrating the legacy of nursing—and investing in its future.
