More than 125 vendors will be on hand to share the latest technologies and services in emergency care.
In between Emergency Nursing 2026’s education sessions, networking events and celebrations, head over to the expansive Experience Hall, where attendees will find more than 125 vendors showcasing cutting-edge technologies and clinical innovations, the latest research in emergency and forensic nursing, dynamic competitions and hands-on learning opportunities.
For Marvin Delfin, MSN, CNRN, CPEN, CEN, CCRN, TCRN, CTRN, CFRN, CBRN, CNML, FSIEN, the Experience Hall has been the part of conference where he feels most “like a kid in a candy store.”
“My first ENA conference was in 2015, and I remember spending almost an entire afternoon in the Experience Hall, just moving from one booth to another and connecting with people who shared my same passion for nursing,” said Delfin. “What stayed with me the most, though, was the realization that I belonged in that room.”
The Experience Hall is open from 11:15 a.m.- 4 p.m. on Sept. 29 and from 9 a.m.- noon on Sept. 30.
Inside DisastER, sessions to highlight lifesaving topics such as mass casualty triage and disaster planning.

ENA Experience
Located in the back of Experience Hall, the ENA Experience enables attendees to take in all things ENA. There they can learn how to make the most of their ENA membership and take advantage of ENA’s products and services by connecting with ENA’s education content developers, membership team and the staff behind the Journal of Emergency Nursing. Don’t forget to pick up some ENA merchandise as a memento of the conference.
The Posters area features researchers sharing their studies on topics that include sepsis compliance and pediatric triage.
Posters
Delfin said the Posters area, which features some of the latest studies in emergency nursing and provides an opportunity to meet the researchers, is among his favorites.
“I love seeing new ideas and solutions that could potentially be replicated in our own facilities to enhance patient care and create better patient experience,” said Delfin, who presented a poster at Emergency Nursing 2025.
The research posters this year cover vital topics, including streamlining care for psychiatric patients, improving sepsis process compliance and boosting pediatric triage confidence.
SIM Wars
Bragging rights are on the line at SIM Wars, one of the most popular clinical events at ENA’s annual conference. This high-octane, fast-paced competition pits sixteen teams of nurses against each other in simulation scenarios, where they will put their skills and knowledge to the test. The SIM Wars champion will be crowned on Sept. 29.

The Sharpen Your Skills section lets attendees practice their clinical skills and hone their techniques. This interactive, hands-on learning opportunity will cover procedures that include intraosseous site identification and resuscitation, digital nerve blocks, hemorrhage control and pediatric stabilization.
