The Power of Nurses™ Celebration Dinner

On October 28, 2026, join leaders from across the nursing profession at the Marriott Marquis in Chicago to celebrate the American Nurses Association 130th Anniversary at the 2026 The Power of Nurses™ Celebration Dinner.
Taking place on site at the Magnet & Pathway Conference™, 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.
To register for the Celebration Dinner, add this event as an add-on to your Magnet Conference registration. Individual tickets are $500 and $1,000.
Sponsorship opportunities range from $6,000 to $250,000 and are now available, including seats at the dinner (tables seat 10) and recognition benefits such as brand visibility, event acknowledgments, and press mentions. Individual tickets are also available for those who wish to be part of this unforgettable evening (charitable portions of contributions are tax-deductible).
