Why Agencies Should Network with Marketplace at TravCon

Written by Cecilia Gillen | 8/11/22 11:00 AM

TravCon is where my people are!” said many healthcare travel attendees over the years. This year, Marketplace will be in attendance and we want to network with healthcare staffing agencies and answer any questions you may have about the healthcare travel industry, our platform, or our new Marketplace App.

What is TravCon?

The Traveler’s Conference (TravCon) is an annual event with a mission to “serve the needs of travel healthcare professionals through community, knowledge, and inspiration.” Born in 2008, TravCon was created by travelers for traveling nurses, therapists, and all allied health professionals. A safe space to gather, healthcare travel workers can network, learn, and be celebrated together by nationwide staffing agencies, universities, housing services, and other businesses related to the healthcare travel industry.

This once-a-year event allows healthcare travelers and staffing agencies alike to network, learn about the top industry trends, latest technology, new products and services, plus attend educational sessions and be part of a like-minded community.

In fact, 95 percent of TravCon attendees are either current healthcare travelers or new healthcare travel workers in search of their travel company. In previous years, the TravCon breakdown consisted of approximately 80 percent registered nurses (RNs) and 20 percent allied health professionals, including speech language pathologists (SLPs), physical therapists (PTs), occupational therapists (OTs), and other healthcare professionals.

Networking opportunities for agencies at TravCon 2022

As the largest gathering of healthcare travelers in the U.S., TravCon is the “premier conference for traveling healthcare professionals” and the prime place for more than 1,500 professional healthcare travelers across a variety of fields and specialties to meet the agencies they want to work with.

It's also an opportunity for agencies to meet Marketplace and learn about our traveler-first platform where agencies have access to a large pool of high-quality healthcare travelers. Our Marketplace representatives are excited to speak with you about how our platform could benefit your agency and show you all the great features our new app has to offer!

Additionally, with more than 75 percent new topics and over 40 experts speaking across 7 stages, healthcare staffing agencies have just as much to learn from TravCon as professional healthcare travelers. There are also specialized training sessions for healthcare recruiters to attend, plus a community of over 100 other travel companies in the healthcare industry to network with.

Known as the “Superbowl for Healthcare Travelers,” TravCon allows healthcare recruiters the opportunity to meet thousands of qualified healthcare travelers in one place at numerous events. The healthcare conference guarantees a minimum of 10 attendees-to-staffing companies to ensure a strong ratio between travelers and staffing agencies and typically sees 15 people per staffing company.
