Wisconsin Center for Nursing

Help Shape the Future of Nursing in Wisconsin!

The Wisconsin Center for Nursing Annual Nursing Workforce Summit is more than a conference — it is a gathering of passionate leaders, educators, nurses, healthcare partners, and advocates working together to strengthen the future of nursing.

Your sponsorship support makes it possible for WCN to continue advancing our mission: ensuring Wisconsin has a strong, skilled, and diverse nursing workforce ready to meet the needs of our communities.

Sponsors help support workforce research, education, professional development, and conversations that create meaningful change for nurses and healthcare organizations across the state.

✨ As a Summit Sponsor, your organization will be recognized as a valued partner supporting nursing excellence, workforce growth, and the future of healthcare.
