The Texas Nurses Association is seeking abstract submissions for the 2027 Annual Conference: Navigating New Horizons in Nursing

The Texas Nurses Association invites nurses, educators, leaders, researchers, students, and healthcare professionals to share the ideas, innovations, evidence, and experiences shaping the future of nursing at the 2027 TNA Annual Conference.

We are seeking abstracts highlighting research, evidence-based practice, quality improvement, clinical and educational innovations, leadership initiatives, workforce solutions, and lessons learned across nursing roles and practice settings.

Conference Tracks
Submissions are invited across five tracks:

• Clinical Excellence & Innovation
• Healthy Work Environments & Ethical Practice
• Leadership, Advocacy & Professional Influence
• Workforce Growth & Development
• Journey to Practice — New for 2027

More Ways to Share Your Work in 2027

In addition to podium and poster presentations, two new presentation formats will create more opportunities for engaging learning experiences:

Nursing Insights Exchange — Three focused presentations. One shared conversation.

Applied Learning Session — Participatory sessions emphasizing learning by doing and practical application.

Abstract submissions open September 1, 2026, and close November 1, 2026.

Whether you're sharing completed research, a successful practice change, an innovative program, or lessons others can learn from, we want to hear how you are helping nursing navigate what comes next.
