Renal Professional Education Conference
The National Kidney Foundation of Wisconsin is again hosting the RENAL PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION CONFERENCE as a face-to-face event. The conference is an opportunity for renal dietitians, social workers, nurses, dialysis technicians, and transplant coordinators to earn continuing education credits, share best practices, and network with a variety of renal medical professionals and exhibitors. The conference will be held in Madison at the DoubleTree by Hilton – Madison East on Thursday, November 13. The day will offer content on current best practices, ethical considerations, and health equity. The schedule for conference sessions will become available in Fall 2025.
In addition to a full day of sessions on Thursday that includes breakfast and lunch, a pre-conference reception will be held on Wednesday, November 12. This is a great time to start reconnecting with attendees you only see occasionally and make new connections.
