The National Black Nurses Association hosts an Annual Institute and Conference in the summer of each year. NBNA’s annual institute and conference features the most prominent speakers in nursing and health care. More than 100 exhibitors join us to offer their products, services and employment opportunities. An attendance of over 1000 NBNA members, student nurses, other health professionals and guests participate in the week’s events.
The four day conference includes a one day annual institute, offering 4-6 hours intensive, concurrent educational programs in health promotion for African American males, child and adolescent health, breast cancer, women’s health, prostate cancer, cardiovascular and HIV/AIDS. Other educational programs include presentations made by national health experts in a variety of health areas including: cancer; HIV/AIDS; menopause and osteoporosis; nutrition; diabetes; health policy and health and healing; and roundtable discussions; a three day exhibition featuring vendors from schools of nursing, pharmaceutical, telecommunications, publications and equipment industries, hospitals and health systems, managed care organizations and insurance companies; and a host of networking and corporate sponsorship events.

Attendees will earn continuing education units for their participation in the week’s educational component. The schedule provides time for networking and attending social events around the city. NBNA Scholarships and awards are presented throughout the conference. The annual NBNA Community Health Fair and the President’s Gala are highlights of the conference. Special NBNA member rates apply to all NBNA sponsored conferences. Advertising opportunities also available in our Conference Souvenir Program.
In addition to our Annual Institute and Conference, the NBNA hosts a forum in February of each year dedicated to congressional health issues and policy. All Congressional Black Caucus members are invited to bring “greetings” as are the presidents of the 13 member organizations of the Black Congress on Health, Law and Economics (BCHLE). The Greater Washington Area Black Nurses Association hosts a health fair for NBNA Day participants, Capital Hill staffers and employees, and the community. Blood pressure, glucose monitoring for diabetes, clinical depression, and cholesterol screenings are conducted. These events are open to the public.
The day’s activities are culminated in a reception hosted by the National Black Nurses Foundation
