What to expect
A floor built around where you are in your career, a stage where nurses do the talking, and an evening that doesn’t move venues.
Hear from nurses
Panels and a keynote with every designation represented, not one group talking at the rest.
Win something
A $100 gift card drawn every hour, and a grand prize before the floor closes.
Stay for OFF SHIFT
Cash bar, photo booth and music from 5 to 7, in the same room. No rushing off to a second venue.
The four zones
The floor is laid out around a nursing career, so you walk straight to the conversations you came for.
Starting Out
Students, new grads and internationally educated nurses. Schools, bridging programs and first employers.
Growing
Specialty and advanced practice. NP programs, certifications and continuing education.
Going Mobile
Travel and agency nursing. Staffing, housing and life on contract.
Thriving
Life outside the shift. Money, insurance, wellbeing and the things nurses buy for themselves.

Questions
Who is this for?
Every kind of nurse: RNs, RPNs, NPs, nursing students, internationally educated nurses and travel or agency nurses, across hospitals, long-term care, home and community care, clinics and private practice.
Is food included?
Coffee, tea and water are available all day. For lunch, the St. Lawrence Market is across the street with more choice than we could ever put on one floor.
Can I get a refund?
Tickets are non-refundable but fully transferable. Email us at least 48 hours before the event with the name of the person taking your place and we will reissue the ticket.
What is OFF SHIFT?
The evening social, from 5:00 to 7:00 pm in the same room. Cash bar, photo booth, music, and the Nurse of the Year award.
What do exhibitors get in terms of leads?
Attendees are asked at registration whether they would like to hear from the exhibitors at the event. Everyone who opts in goes onto a shared list that we send to exhibitors afterwards, so every contact has chosen to be contacted.
How many nurses will actually be there?
We are targeting 350 ticket-buying nurses plus exhibitor guests. Registration is open now, and we report real numbers and audience breakdowns to exhibitors as they come in.
Can we sponsor without taking a booth?
Yes. Sponsorship items stand on their own, in cash or in kind, and can be added to a booth or taken separately.
I want a booth. What now?
Email events@canadiantravelingnurses.com and we will send the exhibitor package and sponsorship menu. Returning CTN Expo 2026 exhibitors have special pricing.
