The Team from the Healthcare Innovation Impact Program (HiiP) at the University of Michigan School of Nursing invites you to our upcoming Great Lakes Regional Nursing Innovation Conference on October 2, 2025 from 8:30-5:00. The conference will be held at the North Campus Research Center (NCRC) on the University of Michigan's Ann Arbor campus. This event provides a unique opportunity for education, networking, and collaboration. It brings together nurses from all areas of healthcare—clinical, research, science, education, leadership, and informatics—in addition to nursing students, medical and healthcare providers, and other professionals, innovation ecosystem entrepreneurs, and more, from across the Great Lakes region.

HiiP has a history of bringing these audiences together to learn more about what nursing innovation is, how to do it, and to inspire nursing professionals and students to innovate by hearing from those leading the way. This year's event, with its broader geographic focus, breakout sessions for clinical versus research, science, and academic nurses, as well as nursing students, national keynote speakers, and stories and experiences from real-life nurse innovators, promises to be even more impactful. It's a unique opportunity to gain insights and inspiration that can shape the future of healthcare for nurses, nursing faculty, and nursing students alike.

The conference is open to everyone. You do not have to be a nurse or nursing student to attend.
