With more than 500 attendees, the 2026 OSANA Annual Conference at the Hilton Columbus at Easton embodied the spirit of the organization and the strength of the nurse anesthesia profession in Ohio. The weekend featured robust educational sessions, student presentations, and RN-to-CRNA programming, capped by the College Bowl and a government relations update celebrating the passage of House Bill 52.

The stage is set for the 2026 OSANA Conference and this year we are looking forward to laughing our way through the event with CRNA and Comedian (yes, that’s the combo) Jon Holmer. We recently caught up with Jon to get the vibe he’s bringing and a little about him.

With almost 400 attendees, the 2025 OSANA conference, hosted at the Hilton Easton, embodied the essence of the organization and integrity of the profession. Many educational sessions were held throughout the weekend. Friday night ended with the Otterbein University team winning the ever-popular college bowl. On Saturday, the legislative update, awards luncheon, and keynote address drew equally engaged audiences. Saturday night, the OSANA PAC hosted a casual fundraiser, Heroes in Action at PINS Mechanical.
