Travel nurses and allied healthcare professionals nationwide are counting down the days to the biggest event of the year: TravCon 2024. This is your chance to meet hiring managers at hospitals and staffing agencies, bond with your fellow healthcare travel professionals and in many cases, make new lifelong friends. The four-day extravaganza takes place at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas from September 22-25, and if you’re traveling from another state to attend, there are a few things should know to make the most of your experience. Here’s a readiness checklist to get you started: Be Sure to Pack Comfortable Shoes This probably goes without saying but expect to do a LOT of walking during TravCon 2023. You’ll get your steps in and then some walking from booth to booth at the main event, and then you’re sure to do even more walking at night as you take in the sights and sounds of Sin City. Of course, in addition to your comfy daytime shoes, you’ll probably want to include some pool slides and party shoes for the many exciting events you’ll be attending, including the legendary TravCon after-party event at Drai's Dayclub and Nightclub at The Cromwell Las Vegas. Be Sure to Also Pack Layers The weather in the Las Vegas area has been similar to much of the country this summer – steamy hot! Currently, the weather is forecast to be in the low 90s during the day, and the low 70s at night. Expect dry, hot weather with very little rain, if any, during the day, and a nice cool down at night
