The Northern California Chapter of GAPNA (NCCGAPNA) will be hosting our 18th annual one-day educational conference on February 1, 2025. The conference will be held online, and people can attend from anywhere in the country.

The activity has been submitted for 6 ANCC contact hours.
One of the main aims of our chapter is promoting education for APRNs with a focus on caring for older adults. Our annual conference is our most intensive event of the year. Our conferences were always held in person until 2021 when we were not able to hold the conference due to the pandemic. In 2022 we presented our first online conference. The online format allows people to attend from the comfort of their own home and gives an opportunity for people to attend who are not living in our area.
