Learning Circles - new at CHWE 2026!

Whether you arrive solo or with a team, you’ll join a diverse group of nurses on Sunday morning for a Learning Circle experience.

Together, you’ll connect with colleagues from different roles, backgrounds, and practice areas, creating space to reflect on your learning and deepen your sense of community at Creating Healthy Work Environments.

Morning Mixers

We've expanded our Morning Mixers to offer even more intentional connection points designed to meet you where you are in your nursing journey.

These informal gatherings create relaxed, high-value spaces for you to meet others with similar goals, challenge, and experiences. Whether you're seeking advice, collaboration, or simply looking to expand your professional network, these sessions offer a welcoming space to foster meaningful connections.
