2026 NLN Summit: Whole Body Healthcare
|
November 6 to 8, 2026 | A.T. Still University, Mesa, Arizona
The lymphatic system influences nearly every aspect of human health. That is the premise of this year's Summit, and the reason we're bringing together professionals from across medicine, rehabilitation, and allied health to examine how lymphatic science applies to whole-body care.
Three days of forward-thinking education and professional connection, with practical tools you can apply immediately, regardless of specialty. The program emphasizes real-world integration over isolated techniques, and offers up to 16 contact hours.
