Attendance at the American Academy of Ambulatory Care Nursing’s (AAACN) conference continues to rise, with the nearly 1,300 attendees who met in 2019 the highest number in the association’s more than 40-year history.
AAACN CEO Linda Alexander said networking opportunities were a big driver for attendance at AAACN’s 44th Annual Conference, held in the Palm Springs Convention Center and Renaissance Hotel in Palm Springs, California, in May. “We consistently hear that connecting with others who are facing the same challenges is one of the most valuable benefits of our conference,” Alexander said.
Educational content at the event also drives attendance. AAACN — which focuses on ambulatory care, or care that mainly takes place in outpatient settings — launched a Care Coordination and Transition Management (CCTM) program a few years ago, which provides continuing education and supplementary learning resources for nurses.
