Come Meet Marketplace at TravCon 2023

Written by Fusion Marketplace | 6/29/23 11:00 AM

If you haven’t heard, the Traveler's Conference (TravCon) is back and better than ever, because Marketplace will be there as a Platinum Sponsor. This annual event returns to the City of Lights for the 15th year to celebrate healthcare travelers and serve “the needs of travel healthcare professionals through community, knowledge, and inspiration.”

What is TravCon?

TravCon is the largest conference for healthcare travelers and gives professional travel nurses, therapists, and other allied health workers the opportunity to earn continued education units (CEUs), attend informational sessions presented by a diverse lineup of speakers, and network with some of the country’s leading healthcare staffing agencies and recruiters. This noteworthy occasion is known as the "Superbowl for Healthcare Travelers" for a reason — don't miss this year’s festivities.

Experience TravCon with Marketplace

Along with the chance to learn more and make new friends, TravCon is also a convenient way to become part of a traveler-driven community with Marketplace. Our platform offers the tools and resources you require to securely manage your career, transparency when it comes to pay and job details, and the autonomy to take your career where you want it to go, whenever you want to take it there.

 

Come find us at our booth (545) or stop by at our traveler happy hour to learn more about the benefits and features of our app and get some awesome swag while you’re at it! This is the place to be.

Q&A with Marketplace team members

Curious to know more about Marketplace before TravCon? Check out what Carrie Polak, Director of Operations, and Olivia Poggenpohl, Director of Marketing, had to say about Marketplace, what travelers can get out of using our platform and why you should stop by to say hi at TravCon.

Q: What are some ways that Marketplace is shaking up the healthcare staffing industry?

Carrie Polak: Marketplace is putting the traveler in control. They can pick who they work with and when. The travelers now can see multiple jobs across multiple agencies and decide what works best for them.

Olivia Poggenpohl: We understand our travelers and their needs, and our marketplace is created by healthcare traveler staffing experts – not a technology company who doesn’t understand the traveler.

Q: What problems does Marketplace solve for travelers?

Carrie: Travelers no longer need to reach out to multiple agencies or search multiple sites. Marketplace is bringing all the “good guys” together, so no matter which agency the traveler chooses, they will have a great experience.

Olivia: We are also bringing on other resources to help everyone, from first-time travelers to seasoned veterans. We want finding a job to be EASY. Your jobs are hard enough!

Q: Why should travelers download the Marketplace App?

Carrie: You can get real time notifications (push notifications) on your job search so you don't miss any opportunities. You can also use the profile to store important health documents and keep all your compliance needs in one EASY spot to share with recruiters.

Olivia: You’ll see hundreds of jobs from dozens of traveling healthcare agencies in one place. And we’re adding more agencies and more jobs each week. All in one place.

Q: Where can travelers find Marketplace at TravCon?

Carrie: Come to our booth!

Olivia: Visit us at Booth 545 in the Exhibit Hall! You can also find us at the Platinum Newbie Reception.

Q: Why should travelers check out the Marketplace booth at TravCon?

Carrie: Do you like fun people and free stuff? If yes, to either, come check us out! We would also love to hear feedback if you are using the site or app. We are always looking for ideas and inspiration on what’s next.

Olivia: Did we mention free stuff? Stop by to get an invite to our happy hour and get free swag!

 

We’re looking forward to meeting travelers, networking with agencies, and being a part of the “premier conference for traveling healthcare professionals.” We’re so excited to see you at TravCon and share our awesome platform with you.
