Featured Opportunity: 2026 NLN Summit | November 6-8, 2026
Deadline for Submission is February 27, 2026 at 11:59 pm ET
We are now accepting abstract submissions for the 2026 NLN Summit, a transformative gathering designed for all professionals who support individuals with a lymphatic system - which is, in essence, nearly everyone in healthcare.

This year’s theme, Whole Body Healthcare, invites presenters to explore how lymphatic health intersects with broader systems of care, patient experience, and collaborative practice. Our mission is to bridge disciplines, promote whole-system wellness, and spark new possibilities for patient-centered care.

We welcome submissions that reflect this integrative vision, including but not limited to:
  • Systemic impacts of lymphatic dysfunction and treatment
  • Compression, imaging, and wound care within whole-body frameworks
  • Innovative modalities that support physical, emotional, and functional well-being
  • Health equity, access, and survivorship across diverse populations
  • Interdisciplinary collaboration across professions such as dentistry, osteopathy, oral myofunctional therapy, speech-language pathology, physical and occupational therapy, massage therapy, athletic training, and more
Abstracts may be considered for lecture, hands-on breakout, or panel formats. Educational content will span multiple levels to ensure meaningful engagement for all attendees - from seasoned specialists to emerging voices in lymphatic care.

If your work advances whole-person care and reflects the diversity and depth of our field, we invite you to submit and help shape this landmark event.
