IACRN 18th Annual Conference 

Spark & Sustain: Connecting People, Practice & Progress in Clinical Research Nursing

View Full Agenda 

In today’s dynamic and rapidly evolving global landscape of clinical research, the professional development needs of Clinical Research Nurses (CRNs) are more important than ever. Across the specialty, CRNs bring diverse backgrounds, experiences, and levels of expertise—from those entering the field as novices to those practicing with advanced, highly specialized skills. Together, through their international collaborative practice, CRNs play a vital role in driving progress, ensuring quality and safety, and elevating the clinical research enterprise. 

Spark & Sustain 2026 highlighted the evolution of clinical research nursing, emphasizing the specialty’s growing influence and forward momentum. Central to this advancement is the CRN’s commitment to partnering with patients and research participants, whose experiences, needs, and voices drive meaningful progress in clinical research. This conference championed that progress—by elevating accomplishments, advancing the ethical integrity of the specialty, and igniting new pathways for growth. Presentations demonstrated innovation, leadership, and visionary contributions that propel the specialty forward and “spark and sustain” excellence in people, practice, and progress.
