Learning Today, Leading Tomorrow

The 2026 Perianesthesia Development Institute (PDI) will take place on Saturday, November 7, 2026, via live webcast, as scheduled by the ASPAN Board of Directors, and you are invited and encouraged to attend.

This year's workshop comes at a defining moment in ASPAN's history.  As our organization transitions from 40 Components to 10 dynamic Regions, we have an extraordinary opportunity to shape the future of perianesthesia nursing.  Together, we will embrace our theme, Learning Today, Leading Tomorrow, by gaining the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to lead the next generation of nurses and continue advancing excellence in patient care.

ASPAN is making a significant investment in this transition because we believe a strong foundation is essential for long-term success.  Throughout the seminar, you will explore the principles, strategies, and practical tools needed to build thriving Regions that provide outstanding education, meaningful networking opportunities, and valuable resources for perianesthesia nurses across the nation.

Leading experts in nonprofit governance and management will share best practices for organizational structure, foundational documents, strategic planning, budgeting, and governance.  Together, we will apply these insights to refine the tools, processes, and resources that will guide our transition and position ASPAN for continued growth and success for generations to come.

Most importantly, this meeting is about the power of leadership through collaboration.  By sharing ideas, experiences, and expertise, we will create a stronger organization that is prepared to meet the evolving needs of our members and the patients they serve.

We invite you to attend this high impact meeting.
