IS anyone else going to the Travelers Conference in October? I just registered and thought I would post info about it here in case other nurses don't know about it. I went for the first time last year and had a great time. I was only considering traveling this time last year and went to the conference to get some questions answered. It was extremely informative and I decided to start traveling shortly after. It was the best decision! Everyone there was very helpful and it was a fun atmosphere where I was able to meet other travel nurses and a few others like me who had never traveled. I am really looking forward to going again this year...it looks like they have revamped their schedule and topics so it should be great (and breakfast and lunch is provided:morningcoffee:). Plus, it is a great excuse to go to Las Vegas and get free CEUs. They have a Facebook page (although I dont know the link) and they have a website with more info at travelersconference.com.

Anyone else registered?

Has anyone else ever been to this? About how many people attend usually? I bet they would have a high turnout if they held it in Florida during the winter when all the travelers are down south. I would probably go.

That would be great - to have an excuse to go to Florida in the winter. Ha!

I don't remember how many people were there last year...it seemed like a big crowd. It was held in a big room at the MGM.

I read an article recently online (don't remember where) and they projected up to 250 attendees.

I am curious about hotels. Anyone going and staying at the Aria? Thinking that it would be worth it but I plan to shop around first.

Florida would be nice...good excuse to go there in the winter!

I don't know how many people were there last year but it seemed like a big crowd (maybe 150?). We were in a large area at the MGM.

I did see an article recently, in the past week, somewhere online (will have to backtrack to find it) that said that they are expecting up to 250 attendees. I will find it and post it here because it had some good info...
