“Nice to meet you!” are four words that people most frequently say at the International Nursing Research Congress—a short sentence that initiates networking, the paramount achievement of this conference.
This simple but extremely meaningful communication underlines the enormous human value of this conference. Especially nowadays in a world where everyone is connected through email, mobile devices, Skype meetings, Facebook, etc., the pleasure of meeting old friends and new ones, the warmth of talking to people in person, and the good feeling the grasp of a handshake gives you have no equal.
“Nice to meet you” is the common denominator of support, encouragement, hospitality, sharing, and positivity—ingredients that account for the success of all STTI events.

“Nice to meet you” helps motivate congress participants in their commitment to the advancement of nursing through knowledge and leadership. And the Honor Society of Nursing, Sigma Theta Tau International honours champions of this advancement by inducting them into the International Nurse Researcher Hall of Fame and by recognizing early-career nurse researchers with the Emerging Nurse Researcher Award.
“Nice to meet you” is the genesis of relationship building, stakeholder engagement, global expansion, establishment of a new vision for the future of nursing, and advancement of global health, which are at the heart of STTI global initiatives.
“Nice to meet you” is where philanthropy starts, providing research and leadership opportunities that positively impact the health of people nursing serves—24 hours a day, seven days a week.
“Nice to meet you” is the enzyme that unites. Unity is strength, much more than the mere sum of parts. It is the concrete and mutually enriching environment that STTI offers through its events, where people discover the opportunity to work together for the good of everyone.
So, thank you, and “Nice to meet you!”
