We are thrilled to invite you to the 40th Annual Southern Nursing Research Society (SNRS) Conference, taking place in February 2026 in beautiful Austin, Texas.
This milestone event celebrates four decades of advancing nursing science, elevating the voices of nurse scholars, and improving health outcomes across the diverse communities we serve throughout the Southern region.
The SNRS Annual Conference is our signature event and a vital gathering place for nurse researchers, educators, clinicians, and students. In 2025, nearly 500 attendees joined us in Memphis, Tennessee—and the energy, collaboration, and scholarly exchange there continue to inspire our vision for 2026.
Our upcoming conference promises an even more dynamic and inclusive experience, honoring our legacy while charting a bold path forward. With the theme “Committed to Nursing Science,” we will highlight innovative research, foster meaningful collaboration, and showcase the impact of nursing science on today’s most pressing healthcare challenges—from disparities in health outcomes and mental health to health systems innovation and community resilience.
Join us as we celebrate 40 years of bringing researchers together and shaping the future of nursing science.
