Tips for DNP Students Planning Conference Dissemination
1. Align Your Abstract With Conference Themes
- Clinical DNP projects: poster sessions at NP-focused conferences or nursing science meetings.
- Leadership or program improvement: AACN Doc Ed, regionals, state organizations.
- Population health/policy: NAHN and special interest forums.
2. Track Deadlines Early
Many conferences (e.g., ĢƵ NP and international nursing science) require submissions months before the event, e.g., Feb for ĢƵ NP and Jan for international nursing science.
3. Check for Student Rates & Travel Support
Most major societies (AACN, NONPF, NAHN) offer reduced student registration rates, plus potential travel awards through academic sponsors or internal school funding.
4. Prepare Multiple Formats
Have a poster draft and short oral synopsis ready. Some conferences offer both poster halls and “lightning talk” options.
