A conference theme for the 13th International Family Nursing Conference in Pamplona, Spain in 2017 has been chosen by the IFNA Conference Committee and approved by the IFNA Board of Directors: The Art and Science of Family Nursing: Transforming Health for Families. The conference theme is particularly appropriate as the conference sessions will be held in the auditorium and classrooms of the Museo Universidad de Navarra. This beautiful museum was opened in January 2015 by King Felipe VI. The privately funded building was designed by the award-winning architect Rafael Moneo and houses an impressive collection, including paintings and sculptures donated by the Huarte family and 10,000 photographic works of art dating back to the 1800s.
The Conference Committee welcomes your ideas for suggested speakers, special sessions, and conference activities that are in keeping with the theme. Please email the co-chairs with your suggestions: Dr. Jane Lassetter and
Dr. June Horowitz.
