The Nurse Practitioners of Oregon education committee is excited to announce the NPO Annual Education Conference will be held at the beautiful Stoller Winery’s Experience Center in Dayton, Oregon on October 16-18, 2025.

Topics of Interest

This year we are changing it up! Our conference will include more plenary sessions that focus on topics we can all use to advance our clinical knowledge and professionalism. We will also offer some breakout sessions of more specialized topics to appeal to the diverse practices of our attendees.

We are calling for potential presenters to provide evidence-based educational topics on these and others areas for the conference.

Types of Sessions

Plenary Sessions (all submissions will be reviewed by NPO’s education committee to determine suitability as a plenary session)
Breakout Sessions
Workshop Sessions (sessions with a hands-on learning component for the attendees, e.g., suturing, splinting, injections, or similar)
