 Keynote PresentationsOwn Your Airspace: How To Be Bold, Resourceful, and Agile In Uncharted TerritoryAmelia Rose Earhart
Around the world pilot Amelia Rose Earhart emphasizes to her international keynote audiences that the only aircraft that never experiences turbulence, is one that stays locked up in a hangar. This sentiment is at the core of her inspiring and informational message, which teaches us all to act as pilot in command when life gets bumpy. In 2014, she followed in the footsteps of the American hero she was named after, Amelia Earhart, and flew a small plane (Pilatus PC-12NG) 28,000 miles around the globe to honor her namesake and encourage the future of women in aviation. To accomplish this, Amelia self-funded her instrument and commercial flight training, crafted a strategic business plan to design, fund, and market her around-the-world attempt, grew a large and passionate social following to spread the word, raised close to $2 million in partnerships with international corporations, and more- all while reporting live on the morning news from a helicopter. Amelia strives to provide unique, practical guidance to create your own flight plan for success. Learning Objectives:

Saturday, June 21 Dan Weberg, PhD, MHI, BSN, RN, FAAN will share the call to action for nursing to lead a technology-enabled future in which care and innovation create a better healthcare system. A significant gap exists in the nursing profession concerning innovation knowledge and skills. While nurses are inherently problem-solvers at the bedside, formalized education and opportunities to develop expertise in innovation processes, design thinking, and change management are often lacking. This deficit limits nurses' ability to lead and participate effectively in developing and implementing new technologies, processes, and care models necessary for improving healthcare delivery and patient outcomes in a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape. Bridging this gap is crucial to empower nurses as innovators and fully leverage their frontline expertise to drive meaningful change Learning Objectives:
From Current Practice to Tomorrow’s Possibilities: Advancing Simulation through AI.
Dr. Kellie Bryant, DNP, WHNP, CHSE, FSSH, FADLN, FAANSunday, June 22 Artificial intelligence (AI) is poised to revolutionize simulation-based nursing education, yet its integration into curricula remains in its infancy. This dynamic and forward-thinking panel session will explore how AI—particularly generative tools—is transforming clinical education by enhancing simulation fidelity, enabling personalized learning, and supporting faculty development. Kicking off the session, Dr. Kellie Bryant will provide an overview of AI's current footprint in simulation, highlighting both its promise and its present limitations. She’ll then be joined by experts Matthew Chartneski, Laura Gonzalez, and Janice Palaganas for a candid, conversational discussion about AI’s real-world applications, emerging trends, and the path ahead. Together, they will tackle key issues including faculty readiness, ethical considerations, and institutional barriers while spotlighting examples of innovation already in practice. Attendees will gain practical insights and strategies to navigate the evolving landscape of AI in nursing education, better equipping faculty and students alike to meet the demands of modern healthcare. Whether you're just beginning to explore AI or looking to deepen your understanding, this session will inspire new ways to embrace technology in simulation. Panelists:
