NPACE 2026: Mark your calendar for September 15th!

A Year of Unforgettable Learning Destinations

“NPACE events give you a fresh take on facts and an extraordinary learning experience in a comfortable and well-fed environment. The networking is wonderful!” – Joy (2025 Attendee)

“I absolutely loved the NPACE primary care and pharmacology conference! I learned so much about topics I don’t see that often in my practice but need to learn more about for my own professional development. The social events like paint and sip were really fun and a great way to end a long conference day!” Jennilyn NP-C (2025 Attendee)

It’s not often that I brag on us… but gosh darn it… NPACE is amazing!!!! In my 31 years in nursing, I have never been to any other event with the variety, fun, food, connection, and engagement. Read on to learn more about how 2026 will be our best year yet in my opinion…

As NPACE prepares to open 2026 registration, we are thrilled to invite our community of advanced practice providers to a year like no other in NPACE history! The 2026 events will provide nurse practitioners and physician assistants with unique learning, transformative practice topics, connection with other providers, and contact with practice products and services. At each 2026 event, NPACE gets to provide some pampering and care to NPs and PAs who dedicate their lives to caring for others. After years of virtual adaptation during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, we are proud to use the 2026 events to reignite a new spirit of in-person connection, education, and rejuvenation through live events.

Unparalleled Conference Destinations

NPACE is going where no other CE/CME provider dares to go. From the vibrant culture of Nashville to the serene beaches of Cape Cod to the vibrant culture of Nashville and the wine country charm of Napa, our 2026 lineup features destinations and live virtual events that inspire learning and relaxation. Each location is carefully selected to provide not only educational excellence but also a memorable travel experience or unparallel virtual topics. Sneak peek of something I am personally excited about – a 2-day radiology event teaching reading techniques and comparing benefit and ordering of x-ray to CT or MRI per body area.

Nashville, Feb 23-25
Radiology Virtual, March 25-26
Delray Beach, May 5-7 (right on the beach!)
Cape Cod, June 8-11
Pediatrics Virtual, September 23-24 (primary care and urgent care people afraid of tiny humans)
Napa, November 2-4

Wellness and Hospitality Set Us Apart

Not to be cliché, but care for self truly matters. Instead of providing self-care education – we provide interactive wellness in live and in-person events or choose areas with plenty of great weather, work out rooms, walking, and on-site activities.

We understand learning is most effective when the environment supports the whole person. That’s why every in-person NPACE event includes wellness offerings such as yoga sessions, plentiful coffee and tea, and nourishing meals. Our attendees consistently tell us our events feel like a retreat—where professional growth meets personal care. I concur that not one event have I ever left without taking advantage of being cared for or wellness.

Diverse Speakers and Thematic Learning

NPACE has themes! We like to have a bit of fun and let our hair down and we are finding attendees do to. In 2026 each event, whether in-person or virtual, will have a theme to involve attendees and staff alike. If you like music, pirates,

Unlike traditional conferences that repeat topics and speakers, NPACE curates each event with a unique theme and a diverse lineup of expert educators. You’ll engage with more than one speaker per day, covering a wide range of topics tailored to today’s advanced practice providers. No two events are alike—each is designed to meet the evolving needs of our community.
