AMPLIFY SUMMIT UPDATE
This new format for Amplify allows for meaningful connection, focused learning, and thoughtful discussion in a more intentional setting. To keep the experience relevant and impactful, attendance will be limited to hospitals actively engaged in the organ donation process.
All Amplify events will be hosted at our corporate headquarters in Indianapolis and will include:
- Tours of our clinical operational suites.
- Interactive experiences within our Donor Family Memorial.
- Role-specific education designed to support you in your role within the organ donation process.
Attendance and Invitations
Because space is limited, Indiana Donor Network hospital liaisons will partner directly with hospital unit leaders to thoughtfully identify and invite team members who would benefit most from each event. As in the past, we will seek continuing education credits for these events. All events will be held approximately from 10 am to 3 pm.
2026 Amplify Conference Schedule:
- Thursday, March 12 — Amplify: Nursing Edition
(Content will mirror the 2025 Amplify Summit, intended for RNs who were unable to attend.) - Thursday, August 20 — Amplify: Respiratory and Healthcare Team Edition
- Tuesday, October 6 — Amplify: Nursing Edition
- Thursday, November 5 — Amplify: Hospital Healthcare Team Edition
