Luminary: A CNO Legacy Experience

Luminary: A CNO Legacy Experience

You've spent your career leading others. This is an invitation to step back, think differently, and shape what comes next.

Luminary is an immersive experience created by The Nurses Legacy Institute for the most senior nurse executives in the country. Over five days at the Johnson & Johnson Human Performance Institute in Lake Nona, Florida — November 9–13, 2026 — a founding cohort of roughly 30 CNOs and CNEs will explore strategic and financial leadership, innovation and emerging technology, the image of our profession, and the legacy each of us is building. The experience continues well beyond the week, with a full year of quarterly roundtables alongside the peers you meet there.

This is our inaugural cohort — the leaders who will set the tone for everything that follows. If that sounds like the room you want to be in, we'd love to read your application.

A quick note on cost, should you be selected: The Johnson & Johnson Foundation, our presenting sponsor, is underwriting the heart of this experience. With their support, registration per participant is $1,500 — inclusive of hotel for the conference nights, meals, and all curriculum costs. The only costs you or your organization would be responsible for are your flight, incidentals, and any additional hotel nights outside of the conference window.

And please don't let the fee hold you back from applying. If you're selected and cost is a genuine barrier, we'll work that out together — in select cases we may be able to help.
