Business At The Beach | NNBA 2027 Conference

September 16-18, 2027 | Virginia Beach, VA

DoubleTree by Hilton | Virginia Beach, Virginia

You became a nurse to make a difference.

Now imagine building a business, or a career, that lets you do it on your terms.

Join hundreds of nurses, entrepreneurs, innovators, and industry leaders for four transformative days of education, networking, and inspiration.

Learn. Connect. Grow. Thrive.

What if your biggest career breakthrough happened at the beach?

Join nurse entrepreneurs, aspiring business owners, innovators, and healthcare trailblazers from across the country for the Annual NNBA Conference, September 16–18, 2027, in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

Hosted at the stunning DoubleTree by Hilton Virginia Beach, this year's theme, Business at the Beach, is more than a tagline. It's a promise: that professional transformation and genuine inspiration can happen when you step out of your daily grind and into a room full of people who think exactly like you do.

Whether you're dreaming about your first business, scaling a company you've already built, or simply ready to stop asking "what if," the NNBA Conference gives you the education, connections, and momentum to make it real.

For more than four decades, the NNBA has been the go-to community for nurses who refuse to limit themselves. This year's conference brings together nationally recognized speakers, thriving nurse business owners, and healthcare innovators who've built careers on their own terms and want to help you do the same.

What you'll experience:

Keynote presentations that challenge and inspire
Practical and possible business and marketing strategies
Leadership and personal development sessions that actually stick
Front-row access to emerging healthcare trends and innovations
Real success stories from nurse entrepreneurs who started exactly where you are
Hands-on tools and resources you can put to work the moment you get home
Networking that goes beyond business cards: real relationships, real opportunities
