2026 National Registry Summit

We are pleased to announce that registration is now open for the 2026 National Registry Summit, taking place September 22-23, 2026, at the W Nashville Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee.

The most recent revision of the Statement on Standards for Continuing Professional Education (CPE) Programs has been approved, and we are excited to share the updates. This year’s theme, Revising the Standards: A Remastered Sound for CPE, captures both the spirit of our host city and the exciting work ahead. Just as Nashville’s legendary studios have long transformed good music into something iconic, this Summit is focused on reshaping and elevating the Standards that define quality continuing professional education.

Anchoring the agenda is keynote speaker Carlos Whittaker. Bestselling author and speaker, Carlos Whittaker will help us reconnect and create spaces where people feel truly seen. Other sessions at the Summit will provide attendees with an essential opportunity to stay current with the latest compliance requirements and best practices. Whether you are new to the Registry or a longtime sponsor, the 2026 conference will deliver critical guidance directly relevant to the role of developing and delivering high-quality CPE. We look forward to welcoming you to Nashville for two days of learning, connection and professional development.

The venue this year is the W Nashville Hotel, which takes center stage in The Gulch, just steps away from the lights of Broadway. This stunning property is the perfect backdrop for our gathering. Attendees can look forward to Nashville’s largest hotel pool area, a state-of-the-art Technogym and a yoga lawn, along with elevated dining experiences from renowned Chef José Andrés and sweeping views of the Nashville skyline.
