Dear APNA Members and Friends,

After months and months of planning and preparation, the moment is finally here – our 2026 APNA Conference! Over the next two and a half days, we’ll come together as leaders, innovators, and peers to focus on our theme: Leadership in Full Color. 

This past year has shown us that our work is never static. Business patterns shift, client needs evolve, and what once felt predictable can change without warning. Sustainable growth is more than enduring; it’s about adapting with intention, uncovering new opportunities, and flourishing no matter the circumstances. Our conference program is built to help you do just that. From energizing keynotes and insightful sessions to small-group discussions and dinner conversations, you’ll gain fresh perspectives, practical strategies, and connections that will strengthen both you and your business. And as always, some of the most valuable lessons come from the time we spend learning from one another.

I’m deeply grateful to our APNA Board of Directors, our multi-talented Administrator, Kellie Geres, and our generous sponsors, vendors, and speakers. Your dedication makes this gathering possible and keeps our community thriving. So, whether this is your first time here or you’re a seasoned veteran, whether you arrived solo or with your team, you belong here. Over the next few days, I encourage you to join the conversations, share your perspective, and be open to moments that ignite your next big idea. Recharge in this setting, connect with people who truly understand your journey, and leave ready to thrive in every climate.

Warmly,
Jami Dennis ~ APNA President
