Netherlands 2027: ENA Announces First-Ever Global Education Event

In partnership with Elsevier, ENA plans three-day emergency nursing conference in Rotterdam

SCHAUMBURG, Ill., July 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Known for delivering high-quality education and innovative learning opportunities at its education and networking events, the Emergency Nurses Association on Monday announced plans for the 2027 Global Emergency Nursing Conference, presented by ENA and Elsevier.

Scheduled for Oct. 21-23, 2027, in Rotterdam, Netherlands, the conference aims to bring together hundreds of emergency nurses from the region and beyond for a shared learning experience that delivers presentations and sessions highlighting common emergency care challenges and the unique best practices and solutions in use to support patients around the globe.

ENA President Dustin Bass, DNP, MHA, RN, CEN, NEA-BC, sees this new event as a great example of the association's commitment to the global nursing community.

"Nurses are always stronger when we learn and work together – particularly when it includes our colleagues from different parts of the world who share similar issues, but bring different perspectives and solutions," said Bass. "ENA is grateful to its longtime partner Elsevier for developing this new and exciting opportunity to reach more nurses with education that empowers them to be their best for patients and communities."

Elsevier Director of Conferences Nigel Clear expressed pride and excitement about the partnership with ENA for the inaugural Global Emergency Nursing Conference in Rotterdam.

"This event will provide a valuable platform for emergency nurses to share best practices, explore common care challenges and engage in evidence-based learning," Clear said. "By combining ENA's deep expertise with Elsevier's commitment to advancing access to knowledge, we believe this collaboration will meaningfully support nurses and enhance the care patients receive worldwide."
