CANA Fall Meeting 2026

Description


Premium Education for Nurse Anesthesia Professionals

Join us in San Francisco, October 23–25, 2026, for a dynamic in-person conference designed specifically for nurse anesthesiologists and perioperative nursing professionals—including CRNAs, NARs/SNARs, and RNs—who are committed to advancing clinical excellence and shaping the future of anesthesia care.

CANA meetings bring together experienced clinicians, emerging leaders, educators, and residents from across the country for a weekend of connection, insight, and professional growth. Attendees can expect timely discussions focused on clinical practice trends, patient safety, evolving care models, professional advocacy, and innovations impacting nurse anesthesia and perioperative nursing—along with valuable opportunities to network face-to-face with peers and thought leaders in the field.

Whether you are a practicing CRNA, a nurse anesthesia resident or student preparing for boards, or an RN interested in advancing your role within anesthesia and perioperative services, this conference is designed to support your growth and amplify your impact.

Stay tuned for more session announcements and speaker highlights—we look forward to welcoming you to San Francisco for a collaborative, inspiring experience built for today's nurse anesthesia community.

This program is designed to meet the requirements for up to 14.75 MAC Ed CE credits. An application for credits is pending.
