Stronger Together: Advancing Anesthesia Through Connection
This year’s Fall Conference, Stronger Together: Advancing Anesthesia Through Connection, is all about what matters most—our people. We’re bringing CRNAs and SRNAs together for an intimate, high-impact weekend centered around real connection and clinical excellence.
Focusing on Connection
In response to what students and early-career CRNAs have told us they value most, we’re designing this conference with a focus on authentic relationships, collaborative learning, and energizing networking experiences. From mentorship mixers to small-group simulations, our programming emphasizes personal connection.
Improving Clinical Excellence
Our sessions highlight cutting-edge practice and legal insights from some of the most respected voices in our profession. Dr. Pamela Chambers will present a powerful session on The Impact of Being Named in a Negligence Claim, offering both legal and emotional insight. Dr. Sheila Williamson returns with high-fidelity simulation experiences designed to help you keep your skills sharp. Joe Kiesznowski, a leader in regional anesthesia, will bring expert-level content with real-world application.
Art Prize
As an added bonus, the conference falls during the final weekend of ArtPrize—Grand Rapids’ nationally recognized celebration of creativity and culture. Join us for a weekend that feeds both your professional passion and your personal inspiration.
Join Us!
Whether you’re a seasoned CRNA or just entering the profession, join us this October and see how we’re advancing anesthesia through community, excellence, and connection. Because we are always stronger together.
