AANA Mid-Year Assembly is our profession’s largest advocacy event. This April 24-29, join our community of proud nurse anesthesiology advocates in Washington, D.C. Develop your skills and put them into practice on Capitol Hill to effect positive change for patients and the profession.
Gain a deep understanding of issues impacting CRNAs/nurse anesthesiologists and get real-world experience advocating for policies that protect and advance our practice. Hear from 40+ expert speakers and earn up to 14 MAC Ed (formerly known as Class A CE) through our live program.
Be in the center of the action at the JW Marriott Washington, D.C., on Pennsylvania Avenue. Walk to the White House, National Mall, or Smithsonian Institution.
This is it! Stand together with colleagues and hear from powerful speakers as you prepare to represent nurse anesthesiology on Capitol Hill. The rally is your send-off before two days of lobbying members of Congress and congressional staffers.
Boost your Mid-Year Assembly experience with add-on workshops designed to deepen your advocacy and reimbursement knowledge. Both sessions take place Saturday, April 25, 2026, from 8 a.m.–12:45 p.m. (ET) and are open to AANA members only.
