TravCon is happening September 22-25, 2024, in Las Vegas. Will you be joining the event this year? This event is a goldmine for travel nurses, offering everything from Continuing Education Units (CEUs) to networking opportunities – plus some well-deserved fun. Whether you’re a first-timer or a returning attendee, read on to see how you can make the most out of your TravCon experience.
Earn Those CEUs
TravCon isn’t just about the swag and giveaways (though that’s a big bonus); it’s also a chance to earn valuable CEUs. Look at the schedule ahead of time and plan which sessions you want to attend. This way, you can maximize your learning while fulfilling your continuing education requirements.
Strategize Your Vendor Hall Visit
TravCon is packed with industry-leading exhibitors, and it can be overwhelming if you don’t plan ahead. To get the most out of your time, check out the list of which exhibitors will be in attendance and identify who you’re most excited to meet. Think about what agencies you’ve thought about traveling with or those you think would be a good match for your travel goals. When you arrive, prioritize spending time with those agencies; meeting them in person is a great way to see if they will truly be a great match for you. Once you’ve hit all the agencies you’re interested in, you can relax and enjoy visiting the rest of the vendors for all the fantastic swag!
Connect With Recruiters
TravCon is also an excellent opportunity to meet recruiters in person. After all, you work closely with recruiters throughout your travel journey. What better way to get to know them than at an event centered on the travel nurse industry? Not all agencies bring recruiters to the event, but some, like TNAA, do, so be sure to ask each agency if they have a recruiter at their booth you can talk to. Get to know them better, ask questions, and make a connection that can help lead to your next assignment.
Network With Fellow Travelers
One of the best parts of TravCon is meeting other travel nurses. Whether during a session, at a vendor event, or just in the hallway, take the time to network. You’ll meet people who can share valuable experiences, tips, and even job leads.
Plus, many travel nurses make lifelong friendships at this event, enjoying all the fun with people who get what travel nursing is all about!
Score Amazing Giveaways
TravCon is known for its fantastic giveaways, so keep an eye out. Some booths offer incredible prizes that could include gift cards, travel gear, tech gadgets, and more! Be sure to enter these giveaways—you never know what you might win!
Attend Vendor-Specific Events and Other Activities
Many vendors offer their own special events throughout TravCon. These events are excellent opportunities to gain deeper insights into what agencies and vendors have to offer – and have a lot of fun doing it. Ask each agency what they are offering this year to see what you can attend outside of the main event.
Plus, in addition to the CEU sessions, TravCon offers various activities, such as daily yoga sessions and a resume center where you can update and polish your resume. Take advantage of these opportunities to enhance both your professional and personal growth. Check out the schedule for a full breakdown of what’s happening each day of the event so you can plan ahead.
