Why TravCon 2025 Is a Must for All Healthcare Professionals—Not Just Travelers

Whether you're deep into the travel healthcare lifestyle or just travel-curious, TravCon 2025 belongs on your radar. Held September 21–24 in Las Vegas, it's the largest conference in the country dedicated to the travel nursing and allied health community—but you don’t have to be a current traveler to benefit.

If you’re even thinking about taking your career on the road—or if you just want to expand your professional circle, renew certifications, or get inspired—TravCon is the perfect place to start.

Learn, Earn, and Get Certified—All in One Trip

TravCon 2025 offers 70+ continuing education sessions focused on practical, real-world topics for nurses and allied professionals. Whether you're looking to brush up on clinical knowledge, strengthen your résumé, or understand the ins and outs of travel contracts, there’s a session for you.

But the learning doesn’t stop there—TravCon also offers on-site certification renewals that make it easy to check off crucial training without adding to your PTO requests. Available courses include:

  • NEW! 1-Day ENA Trauma Nurse Core Course (TNCC)
  • AHA HeartCode Basic Life Support (BLS)
  • AHA HeartCode Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS)
  • AHA HeartCode Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS)
  • AWHONN Intermediate Fetal Monitoring
  • Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP)

Spots are limited and fill up quickly—especially for the brand-new TNCC 1-day renewal—so be sure to book ASAP!

Not a Traveler? Here’s Why You Should Still Go

Even if you’ve never taken a travel contract, TravCon is an eye-opening experience. Many attendees come to explore their options, get answers, and build confidence before jumping into a new way of working.

You’ll hear firsthand what travel nursing is really like—from managing housing and taxes to navigating agency relationships and maximizing pay packages. You can sit in on panels with experienced travelers, talk directly to recruiters, and get real, no-pressure information in a welcoming environment.

Meet Recruiters, Land Jobs & Explore Opportunities

TravCon’s exhibit hall is more than swag and photo ops (though there’s plenty of that too). It’s where premier travel healthcare agencies and companies come to connect directly with healthcare professionals.

Recruiters from leading staffing agencies are ready to answer your questions, match you with assignments, and offer real insight into current job openings. Some even host private parties or networking events during TravCon week to get to know you better.

And, if you decide traveling isn’t for you, many staffing agencies and healthcare employers offer permanent or local contracts. Either way, you’ll leave more connected, more knowledgeable, and more empowered in your nursing career.

“Everyone I Met Was So Kind, Open-Hearted & Genuine”

One of the most common things attendees say about TravCon? The people make it unforgettable.

“First TravCon was a blast! It felt surreal being around like-minded souls,” attendee Ashley L. shared. “Everyone I met was so kind, open-hearted & genuine. I made amazing friends & connections and I’m very grateful. I already can’t wait for next year.”

It’s a rare chance to be surrounded by people who get what it's like to work on the floor, adapt to new environments, and navigate the ups and downs of healthcare—whether as a traveler or not.

The Vegas Energy Is Just a Bonus

TravCon also knows how to throw a celebration worthy of the work you do. The conference includes daily catered meals, happy hours, wellness events, and the famous rooftop AfterParty at Drai’s Nightclub with sweeping views of the Strip. It’s the perfect balance of learning, connection, and a well-deserved break.
