Professional Development & Practice Summit Leading Learning

Thank You for Joining Us in Orlando in 2026!

Nearly 850 nursing professionals, educators, accreditation leaders, and practice transition experts came together in Orlando, April 14-17, for the 2026 Professional Development & Practice Summit. Together, we explored innovative strategies, shared best practices, celebrated achievements, and strengthened the future of nursing professional development and practice.

The 2026 PDP Summit marked an exciting milestone as the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) communities of Advanced Practice Provider Fellowship Accreditation (APPFA®), Joint Accreditation for Interprofessional Continuing Education™, Nursing Continuing Professional Development (NCPD) Accreditation™, and Practice Transition Accreditation Program® (PTAP) came together for this integrated learning experience.

From inspiring keynote sessions and meaningful networking opportunities to accreditation celebrations and collaborative discussions, the PDP Summit created space for connection, learning, and growth across the continuum of nursing professional development and practice.

Thank you to our attendees, speakers, sponsors, exhibitors, and volunteers for making the inaugural Professional Development & Practice Summit such a success.

We look forward to continuing the momentum with you in San Antonio, Texas, in 2027.
