will be the premier annual trade exhibition connecting nurses to the entire nursing ecosystem in one dynamic platform. Scheduled on June 26 and 27, 2026 at SMX Megatrade Hall 1, this 2-day event will bring together more than 5,000 nursing professionals, students, and industry stakeholders to strengthen knowledge, showcase innovations, and create meaningful career connections within the healthcare sector.

The demand for nursing-related opportunities is clear. In the Philippines alone, there are 65,000 online searches made monthly for “nursing,” with 55.5% of searches coming from Luzon regions such as Metro Manila, Calabarzon, Central Luzon, and Ilocos Region. Metro Manila leads the way with 17.9% of these searches, reflecting the strong concentration of interest in the capital. Globally, “nursing” generates an impressive 750,000 searches every month, underscoring the international relevance of this profession. In addition, the Philippines produces around 30,000 nursing graduates annually, alongside an even larger number of nursing students preparing to enter the profession. Creating an event that connects this massive pool of talent with opportunities both locally and abroad addresses an urgent and growing need.
