The CNSA Annual Congress 2026 program will inspire, challenge, and empower cancer nurses to think differently about the future of care.

Built around the theme Elevate Cancer Nursing: Innovate. Integrate. Educate. Advocate., the program will explore how nurses are driving change — through new models of care, collaborative practice, education, and leadership that translate evidence into impact.

What to Expect:

  • Plenary sessions from leading voices in cancer care.
  • Concurrent presentations showcasing research, innovation, and clinical excellence.
  • Workshops designed to build practical skills and strengthen collaboration.
  • Networking events that connect the cancer nursing community

The full program will be released in early 2026. Stay tuned for updates and speaker announcements.
