FiNAN Conference
Amplifying Voices: Navigating Equity, Leadership, and Global Migration
March 30 – April 1, 2026 
Reykjavik, Iceland The Filipino Nurses Association in the Nordic Region (FiNAN) proudly invites you to our landmark event on March 29 – 30, 2026, where we bring together Filipino Internationally Educated Nurses (IENs), other internationally educated nurses, healthcare leaders, policy-makers, employers, and recruiters under one roof.
This gathering is more than a meeting, it is a platform for dialogue, collaboration, and action. Together, we will explore the most pressing issues shaping the nursing profession today, including workforce mobility, ethical recruitment, integration, retention, and the future of nursing in a globalized healthcare landscape.
Take time to unpack, rest, and get settled.
