The SIA Healthcare Staffing Summit, hosted by Staffing Industry Analysts, brings healthcare staffing professionals together from around the nation. 400+ healthcare staffing firms are expected to be in attendance and 80+ industry solution sponsors. The SIA Healthcare Staffing Summit is the premier event of the year for healthcare staffing companies.

Attendees of the SIA Healthcare Staffing Summit will gain access to the latest healthcare staffing research, tailored content to grow their business, networking opportunities with like-minded peers, and 80+ service and technology solution providers for the healthcare staffing industry.
The Keynote Presentation
The highly anticipated keynote presentation, “The New Healthcare Staffing Playbook” will be presented by Crystal Fullilove, Senior Healthcare Staffing Analyst at SIA. As health systems navigate ongoing staffing shortages and tighter financial pressures, staffing firms are being asked to play a more strategic role by delivering greater speed, flexibility, transparency, and measurable workforce outcomes. This powerful keynote presentation will share exclusive research and proprietary market data that provide a comprehensive view of the healthcare staffing market and the dynamics influencing how firms grow and compete.
Attendees will gain data-driven insights into emerging trends and outlooks across healthcare staffing segments, evolving buyer expectations, the impact of AI and automation, emerging areas of investment, and the strategies helping leading firms outperform the broader market.
