If you’re in the physician staffing world, the NALTO/NAPR Convention isn’t just another event—it’s the event.
It’s where the biggest names in locum tenens staffing come together to swap ideas, tackle challenges, and, let’s be honest, do some top-tier networking.
After an action-packed 2024 convention in Charlotte, this year’s convention in Ponte Vedra, Florida (March 5-7), is shaping up to be just as electric. Why should you be there? Easy. You’ll get meaningful, face-to-face time with industry leaders, expert insights, hands-on workshops, and social events (that are actually fun). Whether you’re looking to reconnect, meet new power players, or sharpen your strategy, this is where it all happens.
“The upcoming 2025 NAPR/NALTO Annual Convention in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL, will truly be a unique opportunity to connect with peers, gain valuable industry insights, and collaborate on the future of healthcare staffing,” says Jarin Dana, president of NALTO. “In addition, we are excited to discuss exciting legislative developments that are changing by the day. Our conference committee members have picked a location that will definitely be memorable. We hope to see you there!”

A Power-Packed Agenda Awaits
The NAPR/NALTO Convention kicks off in style with the President’s Welcome Reception & Exhibit Hall Grand Opening—a prime opportunity to mix, mingle, and set the stage for the event. From there, the itinerary is a perfect blend of professional networking and social opportunities.
After breakfast and registration, things officially get rolling at 9 a.m. with opening remarks and a keynote that’s anything but ordinary. Actor and improv expert Robert Reid—trained at the legendary Second City—takes the stage with Navigating Change: A Corporate Improv Adventure. This high-energy session isn’t just for laughs (though there will be plenty); it’s designed to arm attendees with practical strategies for embracing change, boosting collaboration, and staying ahead in the fast-moving world of physician staffing.
Later in the day, Interim Physicians President Shawn Mullen will focus on Mastering Success in Locum Tenens Staffing: The Power of Communication. Expect sharp insights on building strong industry relationships, plus a chance to put those skills into practice at Networking with a Purpose: Roundtable Discussion.
By Friday, attendees can converse with their colleagues over Breakfast with Exhibitors and Prize Drawings. It’s another chance to meet industry partners, explore the latest in physician staffing solutions, and nab some nifty prizes.
Wrapping up the convention is a closing keynote from Jeff Butler, an author and workplace strategist who knows a thing or two about navigating generational differences in the workplace. His session will dive into how staffing professionals can foster better communication and collaboration across age groups—a critical skill in today’s evolving healthcare landscape. Finally, the event closes with key takeaways and final thoughts to send attendees home with fresh insights and new connections.
“We are bringing together industry leaders from across the country and providing incredible networking opportunities and the ability to learn more about our ever-changing industry, all in a beautiful setting. This is a convention you won’t want to miss!"
Effective Networking Strategies
Let’s be real—one of the best parts of any convention isn’t just the sessions; it’s the social scene. Those casual networking moments are where magic happens. These laid-back meetups make it easy to connect with new faces and build relationships that actually matter.
Attendees rave about these rare, intimate settings where they can finally catch up with colleagues face-to-face—something you don’t get from Zoom calls or massive, impersonal conferences.
“The 2025 NALTO Annual Convention is set to be an unforgettable experience,” says NALTO President-Elect Liz Hale. “We are bringing together industry leaders from across the country and providing incredible networking opportunities and the ability to learn more about our ever-changing industry, all in a beautiful setting. I’m especially looking forward to the ‘Mastering Success in Locum Tenens Staffing: The Power of Communication’ session with Shawn Mullen, which promises to deliver key strategies for success. This is a convention you won’t want to miss!”
