The NYS ID/DD Nurses Association (NYSIDDDNA) will be hosting the NYSIDDDNA 2023 Annual Conference September 11-13, 2023 at the Albany Marriott. The theme of the 2023 Annual Conference is Motivate. Educate. Network.
This conference will provide nurses and other interested health care professionals working in the ID/DD field with a series of new educational programs addressing a variety of contemporary issues for ID/DD supports with a host of esteemed presenters. The conference provides an opportunity for nurses to enhance and reflect on their own practice and/or network with colleagues throughout the state.
The NYSIDDDNA 2023 Annual Conference is open to anyone working in the ID/DD field. Members and non-members are welcome to attend.
The Planning Committee worked collaboratively and successfully to select speakers for topics identified as gaps in education by past conference attendees. Having committee members from each zone provided well-rounded representation from across New York State.
