I usually hold out for INS or AACN.

I prefer INS.

 

[LightBulb]

Ok, so I gotta ask... why or what is it about INS or AACN that you prefer to NAN? I am willing to be enlightened.

To be clear, NAN is an excellent organization and puts on a great conference--I've attended several times. However, I find INS to be more research-oriented, which is more in line with my training/career goals.

NAN is great is you need CE's. Being in the VA, not a problem, plus I like the more research oriented talks at INS and have many more former friends and colleagues that go to that conference to catch up with.

I primarily go to INS because the topic areas of recent conferences have been more to my liking, and I know more people who attend it vs. NAN. Although I agree that as a practice organization, NAN is great.

I really want to make it to AACN one of these days, as they also look to have great talks. I just always forget to request the time off in advance.

I like NAN and think they put on a quality conference, though it's been a few years since I've attended.

I prefer INS because the topics are a bit more hard-sciencey.

I have yet to get to AACN, but it looks great. Between the presentation topics and the annual bar gathering of list serv members…it's can't miss conferencing. One of these years...

 

[AcronymAllergy]

Yep. I usually have to choose one per year, and INS wins out because I know more folks there. I've been to NAN a few times in the past and enjoyed it, though. And the shift to a single registration fee for open access to all CE sessions is appealing.

 

[WisNeuro]

I'll probably start attending NAN after my VAxit.

 

[Pragma]

Never been to NAN, usually go to AACN and/or INS.

From the forum here last year, it sounded like some of the talks at NAN were "dumbed down"? I wasn't there but read some posts about it in 2015.

But I've had a couple of supervisors that said they liked going in the past.
