Interdisciplinary Nephrology Conference 2026

The 2026 edition was held at Drury Lane Oakbrook Terrace, 100 Drury Lane, Oakbrook Terrace, IL 60181.

The published audience included dietitians, nurses and technicians, social workers, and other renal professionals.

It was most useful for renal dietitians, nurses, technicians and social workers who needed continuing education in one day, since the conference offered 5 contact hours for nurses and technicians, plus social work CE via ASWB ACE and dietitian CE via CDR, for a $125 fee. The speaker list mixed physicians, pharmacists, dietitians and social workers, and topics ranged from nutrition to ethics and dialysis, which suits team-based practice; nephrologists seeking deep specialty science would find a one-day regional meeting light.

Clinicians and renal professionals at continuing education days usually wear business casual, and some come straight from work in clean scrubs. A hotel-style dinner theater venue with corporate exhibitors suggests layers, since meeting rooms often run cool.
