Conferences and projects[edit]
The ICN hosts a quadrennial conference every four years in conjunction with the meeting of the CNR. The conference hosts a large number of professional practice workshops, poster sessions, luncheons, speaking events and plenary sessions.
ICN hosts other conferences on an as-needed basis. Recent conferences have covered topics such as international nurse migration issues, regulation of the profession of nurses, rural nursing, leadership issues, advance practice issues, and workplace violence.
The ICN sponsors International Nurses' Day every May 12 (the anniversary of Florence Nightingale's birthday).
The ICN is an official supporting organization of Healthcare Information For All by 2015
