ANCA Convention 2026 was held at Crowne Plaza Phoenix-Chandler Golf Resort in Chandler, Arizona.
It suits serving and retired Army nurses who belong to ANCA, since the program paired continuing-education hours with a briefing on the state of the Army Nurse Corps and a poster session of member-led research and improvement projects. Nurses outside the Army community, or anyone wanting a broad vendor floor, would get less from an association gathering built around its own members.
Attendees at nursing association conventions usually wear business casual, with some retired and serving members in more formal attire for evening events such as the auction. The resort setting in Arizona in October is warm, so light layers and comfortable shoes suited the optional olive mill tour and the golf resort grounds.
The published audience was Army Nurse Corps officers and ANCA members serving or having served as Active Duty, Reserve, National Guard, or retired Army nurses.
