About the Conference

Want to restart your career?     

Motivation, networking, expert guidance, concrete direction—you can expect all that at an iRelaunch Return to Work Conference. It’s a one-day event we’ve specifically designed to meet the needs of experienced professionals returning from career break. Eager for strategies and of-the-moment advice to resume your career after time away from the workforce? You’re in the right place.

What you can expect

First and foremost, the Conference is structured to provide comprehensive and tactical return-to-work strategies and advice. From our information-packed keynote "Top Strategies for Returning to Work," to hearing directly from those who have made successful returns, to our intensive workshops on Career Assessment and Networking & Marketing Yourself, the Conference is high on content, low on fluff.  You will also hear employers share advice on how to conduct a job search in today's difficult market, and have the chance to engage in substantive conversations with employer representatives.

During the day, you’ll connect with fellow relaunchers and returning professionals: attorneys, business people, engineers, and other professionals—as well as employer sponsors. In this judgment-free zone, you’ll have the opportunity to start your personalized plan for reentering the workforce, drawing on the day's presentations as well as a complimentary copy of Back on the Career Track, the acclaimed career reentry strategy book by the iRelaunch cofounders.

Who should attend

If you’re a mid-career professional who decided to switch gears and take a break to focus on other priorities, the iRelaunch Return to Work Conference is geared for you! We host women and men who’ve taken time from their careers to care for children and parents, or pursue volunteer opportunities or personal interests. Why you took a break (or how long you’ve been out) doesn’t matter. What matters is you’ll find practical, actionable, and relevant guidance for returning to work with a purpose.
