PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Dear SIENNA Ambassadors, Members, and Supporters,
The excitement is building, and Toronto is almost here!
Preparations are in full swing for our 2nd IEN Global Conference & Policy Congress, November 20–22, 2026, in Toronto, Canada! This is shaping up to be our biggest event yet, and there’s still time to register and be part of this global celebration!
Meet Our Powerful Keynote Speakers!
We are honored to welcome two outstanding nursing leaders:
Dr. Ena Williams, President of the American Organization for Nursing Leadership (AONL).
Dr. Valerie Grdisa, Chief Executive Officer of the Canadian Nurses Association (CNA).
Get Ready for an Inspiring Program!
Join us for six power-packed sessions featuring diverse voices and perspectives from around the world, including IEN Stories on Stage, plenary panels, fireside chats, and our IEN Policy Congress.
Together, we will explore migration journeys, leadership, opportunities, challenges, and the policies shaping the future of internationally educated nurses.
We will also celebrate nursing excellence through:
The DAISY Awards, honoring our inspiring nominees and recognizing our DAISY Award honoree.
The Induction of SIENNA Fellows and Honorary Fellows (FSIEN), the highest distinction conferred by SIENNA in recognition of extraordinary contributions and global impact.
THERE’S STILL TIME TO REGISTER!
Be part of the conversations, connections, and celebrations that will shape the future of IENs.
Help Us Bring More IEN Voices to Toronto!
We are raising funds to sponsor nurses in Canada to attend this conference. Your contribution will help more IENs participate, connect with global leaders, and have their voices represented.
Choose a sponsorship opportunity:
$500 | Sponsor 5 Nurses
$300 | Sponsor 3 Nurses
$200 | Sponsor 2 Nurses
Can’t attend? You can still make a meaningful impact by sponsoring nurses or making a donation. Every contribution brings us closer to a more inclusive and empowered global nursing community!
This is more than a conference. It is a global movement to elevate IEN voices, strengthen representation, celebrate excellence, and ensure internationally educated nurses have a seat at the table where decisions are made.
Thank you for your continued support of SIENNA. We cannot do this without you, and I hope to see you in Toronto!
Warm regards,
Paul Biluan, DNP, APRN, FNP-C, ENP-C
President, SIENNA
Society of Internationally Educated Nurses and Nursing Allies
