QUANTUM UNIVERSITY IN-PERSON GRADUATION + 45TH ANNUAL ANMA CONVENTION
A Milestone for Our Graduates.
A Beginning for Everyone.
August 28–30, 2026 · Las Vegas, Nevada
Celebrate the Next Generation of Healers at the Quantum University Graduation, set inside three unforgettable days of the ANMA Convention. Graduates walk the stage. Students see their future. Future practitioners find their path. All in one weekend.
ABOUT THE EVENT
A Graduation Wrapped Inside the
Best Weekend in Natural Medicine
Join us August 28–30, 2026, in Las Vegas for the Quantum University Graduation, held inside the 45th Annual American Naturopathic Medical Association Convention at the Westgate Resort & Casino. On August 29, we’ll gather to celebrate our graduates, and to welcome everyone ready to begin a journey of their own. If you’re exploring a career in natural and integrative medicine, there is no better place to see what that future actually looks like: real graduates, real practitioners, and a real community, all in one room.
If the ANMA is new to you, here’s what makes it matter. The American Naturopathic Medical Association is one of the longest-standing professional bodies in natural and integrative medicine, and for 45 years its annual convention has been the place the field comes together, the practitioners, educators, researchers, and students who are actively shaping where healing goes next. It’s where new science gets shared, careers move forward, credentials are earned, and a community that spends most of the year spread across the country becomes a connected one for three days.
Because the celebration sits at the center of one of the most respected gatherings in the field, a single registration opens the door to a full weekend of growth, leading natural-health speakers, hands-on workshops, a thriving exhibitor hall, the ANMA Higher Achievement Award Ceremony, continuing-education credits, board certification, and a community that feels like home. Graduates arrive to be honored and leave with new tools and new colleagues. Future students arrive curious and leave with a clear picture of the career ahead of them, and an Admissions Advisor who already knows their name.
This is where your calling steps into the light. Come celebrate how far you’ve come, or discover just how far you can go.
The ANMA Convention Begins
A full day of inspiring speakers and a buzzing exhibitor hall, and our booth is open, where you can sit down with Admissions Advisor Michelle Davis and map out your own next steps in natural medicine. During the day, don’t miss Dr. Tara Deniz’s hands-on workshop, Quantum University: Clinical Approaches to Integrative and Energy Medicine, open to graduates, students, and the simply curious. Then, as evening falls, all eyes turn to the main stage for Dr. Paul Drouin’s featured conference, The Biofield: The Next Frontier in Natural & Integrative Medicine.
Graduation Day
The day it’s all been building toward. Powerful morning sessions and the ANMA Higher Achievement Award Luncheon carry you through the afternoon. Then, at 7:30 PM, the Quantum University Graduation Ceremony turns the page to a brand-new chapter. For graduates, it’s the moment you came for. For everyone else in the room, it’s a preview of a moment that could be yours.
Carry It Home
One last morning of standout sessions and meaningful connections before you head home, leaving not just with new knowledge, but with renewed purpose, a plan for what’s next, and a community that’s now yours for good.
45th Annual ANMA Convention
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
Three Days That
Move You Forward
The graduation doesn’t stand alone, it’s the centerpiece of one of the most respected gatherings in natural and integrative medicine. For 45 years, the ANMA Convention has brought together practitioners, educators, and students from across the field to learn what’s working now, earn the credentials that move careers forward, and build the relationships that make this work sustainable.
Exploring the field? These three days are the fastest education you’ll ever get in what a career in natural medicine really looks like.
Here’s why you’ll want to be there for every minute:
Three Full Days of Leading Natural-Health Speakers
More than two dozen sessions across Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, led by respected NDs, researchers, and clinicians. From root-cause approaches to cutting-edge science, you’ll leave each day with practical ideas you can put to work right away, in your practice, in your studies, or in deciding if this path is for you.
A Thriving Exhibitor Hall
Dedicated exhibitor breaks throughout all three days mean real time to explore the latest in supplements, devices, lab testing, technology, and practice tools, and to talk directly with the people behind them. It’s where you discover what’s new and find what actually works.
The Saturday Member Luncheon
Join the Saturday Members’ Luncheon as the association honors excellence and leadership in natural medicine, a genuinely inspiring look at what a meaningful career in this field can become.
The ANMCB Board Certification Exam
Take a concrete step in your professional credentials, offered on-site during the convention. There’s no more efficient way to combine celebration, education, and certification in a single trip.
23 Continuing Education Units (CEUs)
Earn up to 23 CEUs across the weekend, making meaningful progress toward your continuing-education requirements while you’re already in the room, learning from the best.
CPR Certification
A practical, career-ready credential you can earn during the convention and take straight home, the kind of add-on that pays for the trip on its own.
A Community That Lasts
Some of the most valuable moments happen between sessions, over coffee, in the exhibitor hall, and at the luncheon. Graduates reconnect with the classmates and mentors behind years of study. Students and future practitioners meet the people they’ll one day call colleagues. This is where the community stops being an idea and becomes yours.

Topics You'll Explore:
Root-cause healing · innate detox pathways · gut health · immune resilience · Chinese medicine · the biofield & energy medicine · cancer prevention through diet & environment · mitochondrial and micronutrient approaches to mental health · metabolic health & continuous glucose monitoring · trauma and emotional healing · methylation · stem cells, exosomes & the future of medicine — and much more.
Moments You Won't Want to Miss
The convention is full of remarkable sessions, but three of them are pure Quantum University. Together they capture exactly what QU stands for: a bold vision for where medicine is headed, the hands-on tools to practice it, and a place to start the conversation about your own future. Graduating, studying, or simply curious about this path, these are the moments that show you the heart of what we do.
Friday, August 28 · 6:40 PM
Toward a New Clinical Model of Healing and Human Potential
Few people can map the future of medicine the way Dr. Paul Drouin can. Quantum University’s President and Founder will take the main stage to explore the biofield as the next frontier in healing, and a new clinical model for unlocking human potential. It’s a vision-setting address that frames everything the weekend is about. Come early, find a seat, and let it set the tone for what’s ahead.
Friday, August 28 · 10:00 AM
Bridging Science, Energy Medicine, and Clinical Practice
Join Dr. Tara Deniz, QU’s Director of Education, for a hands-on workshop that bridges science, energy medicine, and real clinical practice. Already practicing, still studying, or just exploring the field, this is where the ideas become applicable.
All Three Days · Booth 113
Quantum University Admissions Booth
Thinking about a future in natural and integrative medicine? Stop by Booth 113 anytime during the convention to learn about our programs, talk through your goals, and picture how QU’s approach could fit your life. Admissions Advisor Michelle Davis will be there all weekend to walk you through programs, tuition, curriculum, and next steps — no pressure, just answers.
Graduation Ceremony of 2026
THE MAIN EVENT
In-Person Graduation Ceremony of 2026
Graduates, this is it. After years of late nights of learning and countless hours of study, it’s time to celebrate everything you’ve achieved.
On Saturday, August 29 at 7:30 PM, the Quantum University community gathers at the Westgate Resort & Casino in Las Vegas to honor the Class of 2026. This is your chance to share the milestone with the friends, family, and loved ones who helped you get here, to walk the red carpet, step onto the stage, and receive the diploma you’ve earned. These are memories that will last a lifetime.
And this celebration isn’t only for graduates. Current students: come watch what’s waiting at the end of your program, nothing fuels the final stretch like seeing your classmates cross that stage. Future students: this is the most honest look you’ll ever get at what Quantum University makes possible. The people walking the stage started exactly where you are now.
Come be immersed in the energy of achievement, and leave knowing the answer.

Saving Your Spot Takes Two Steps
Your ticket to graduation is your ticket to the entire ANMA Convention. Three full days of speakers, workshops, and connection. Graduates, guests, students, and future students all register the same way. Here’s all it takes to be there:
STEP 1 | Register for the ANMA Convention
Before you can complete your graduation registration, you must first register for the ANMA Convention. Submit your Convention Registration Request Form at anma.org/convention.
For $120, you’re in for all three days, every speaker, every workshop, the exhibitor hall, the Saturday Member Luncheon, and a front-row seat to graduation. One registration covers it all.
Note: After submission, ANMA will contact you to process payment and finalize your registration. Convention Registration is NOT complete without payment.
STEP 2 | Confirm Your Attendance
Everyone attending – graduates, guests, students, and first-time visitors – completes this step. After you register, fill out the QU Confirmation Form so we can save your seat and plan regalia, seating, and the program around you. It only takes a minute, and it’s how we make the night perfect.
