Exploring New Horizons, Empowering Global Practice

A DECADE HAS PASSED since the goal emerged to expand global professional connections across our specialty practice. The path to establishing a formal professional specialty organization began by holding an inaugural international perianesthesia nursing conference in 2011. Ten years and four successful biennial international conferences later, the International Collaboration of PeriAnaesthesia Nurses, Inc (ICPAN) will host its 2019 conference in beautiful Cancun, Mexico (Figure  1). Over the past 10 years, a steady progression has occurred in the collective aim to facilitate sharing of perianesthesia nursing expertise; advance science to underpin safe and effective clinical practice; and give voice to our specialty practice through promotion of collaborative team-based i nitiatives that improve surgical safety for all populations worldwide.
