For over 25 years,  nephrology healthcare professionals from across the country have come to the National Kidney Foundation (NKF) Spring Clinical Meetings to learn about the newest developments related to all aspects of nephrology practice, network with colleagues, and present their research findings.  The NKF Spring Clinical Meetings is designed for meaningful change in the multidisciplinary healthcare teams’ skills, performance, and patient health outcomes.  It is the only conference of its kind that focuses on translating science into practice for the entire healthcare team.  

Over 2,800 healthcare professionals attended the National Kidney Foundation 2018 Spring Clinical Meetings to learn about the most current science and how to improve patient outcomes in their practical applications. We expect well over 3,000 professionals to attend the 2019 Spring Clinical Meetings in Boston, MA, including Physicians, Pharmacists, Fellows and Residents, Physician Assistants, Nurse Practitioners, Nurses and Technicians, Renal and Clinical Dietitians, Social Workers and Transplant Coordinators.

This is your once-a-year opportunity to demonstrate your brand's relevance to hundreds of health care practitioners in one convenient location! To help attract the maximum number of attendees to your booth, the Expo is primarily open when sessions are closed. Poster presentations are located in the Exhibit Hall, and show hours include breakfast, brunch, lunch and evening networking receptions.
