2026 KSNA Legislative & Advocacy Conference

March 4, 2026 7:45 AM - 4:00 PM (CST)

Description

REGISTER NOW for the 2026 KS Legislative & Advocacy Conference!

The 2026 KS Legislative & Advocacy Conference will be delivered as a live, in-person event at the Mater Dei Event Center on March 4, with an afternoon spent at the Kansas State Capitol networking with legislators.

The KS Legislative and Advocacy Conference is designed to increase awareness of the political process for all nurses and nursing students in Kansas. The event will focus on the power and importance of advocacy, provide a glimpse into a day in the life of a nurse legislator, discussion on the Kansas State Nurses Association's key legislative priorities, and a special guest speaker from ANA sharing the importance of advocacy at the federal and state levels.

Please make note of the delivery format and location changes for this event.

This year's event will be held live, in-person at the Mater Dei Event Center located at 1114 SW 10th Ave. in Topeka, KS with the afternoon spent at the State Capitol.

AGENDA

The March 4 program will begin at 9:00 am with a guest speaker from ANA and other advocacy leaders on the importance of advocacy, followed by lunch for all attendees. Light breakfast items will be provided prior to the opening session.

Attendees will then head to the Capitol after lunch and spend the afternoon visiting with legislators, monitoring the floor debate, hearings, etc. Attendees will return to the event center for a wrap up/next steps presentation before adjourning at 4:00 pm.

We hope you will choose to join us for the KS Legislative & Advocacy Conference on March 4!

Groups of 20 or more must register using the Group Registration Form and corresponding Group Payment Form below. Online registration is not an option. See instructions below:

Smaller Groups of 20 or less
Smaller groups may register online by clicking the Register Now button, or complete and submit the Group/School Registration List and corresponding Group/School Payment Form (forms below) to our office for processing. Register groups of 20 or less online by clicking the Register>> button in the upper right

Larger Groups of 20 or more
Please complete the Group/School Registration List and corresponding Group/School Payment Form below. Both forms are required.

The Group/School Payment Form will ask you to identify the total number of students versus faculty participating along with payment information.

The Group/School Registration List will ask you to identify each individual in your group by first and last name, address, email address, type of registrant (KSNA Member, Non-Member, or Student), dietary restrictions and if each registrant will be attending in-person or virtually.
