If you’re a CRNA or SRNA in Ohio, consider this your guide to the OSANA Annual Conference. From key dates and registration windows to hotel details and can’t-miss sessions, this guide will keep you in the loop as plans come together for three days of education, networking, and professional growth at the OSANA Annual Conference at the Hilton Columbus at Easton, March 20–22, 2026.

OSANA’s student board is where the future of nurse anesthesia in Ohio starts taking shape. This group of Student Registered Nurse Anesthetists (SRNAs) represents programs across the state, serves as a bridge between students and OSANA leadership, and helps ensure student perspectives are always part of the conversation around advocacy, education, and the profession’s future.

Presenting a poster at the Ohio State Association of Nurse Anesthetists (OSANA) Conference is an exciting opportunity. It’s your chance to showcase research, contribute to the nurse anesthesia profession, and network with peers across Ohio.

The Ohio State Association of Nurse Anesthetists (OSANA) continues its mission to advance nurse anesthesiology through excellence in education, advocacy, knowledge, and member empowerment. As the association welcomes a new president, we reflect with gratitude on the leadership of outgoing President Nicholas Farinacci, DNP, CRNA and look forward with anticipation to the vision of incoming President Kim Riviello, DNP, MBA, CRNA.

Ohio’s Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) are trusted providers of safe, high-quality anesthesia care. But their impact doesn’t stop at the operating room door. Across the state, members of the Ohio State Association of Nurse Anesthetists (OSANA) are making a difference in meaningful ways by volunteering their time, skills, and compassion to uplift families and strengthen communities.

Earlier this month, the 2025 AANA Annual Congress brought CRNAs from across the country together in Nashville, creating an energizing atmosphere for education, connection, and advocacy in nurse anesthesia. From keynote presentations to thought-provoking workshops and panels, the Congress delivered an enriching program that showcased its reputation as one of the leading events in the profession. Beyond the classroom, the event also provided a forum to address the evolving challenges of the profession while reinforcing the AANA Foundation’s mission of advancing anesthesia through education and research.
