Event Sponsorship

The iRelaunch Return to Work Conference is the largest and longest-running dedicated career reentry event in the United States.

Our flagship event, the iRelaunch Return to Work Conference brings together high-caliber professionals seeking to return to the workforce after a career break - for childcare, eldercare, personal or family health issues or other reasons - with employers interested in recruiting them.

Sponsorship opportunities for the upcoming October Return to Work Conference

This October's Return to Work Conference will be our 30th conference, proving our skill and consistency in curating a unique value-packed event for relaunchers and employers alike. Our shift to a virtual setting enabled a more geographically diverse community of employers and relaunchers to join us for our two 2020 Conferences and our May 2021 Conference, a trend we expect to continue for October's Conference.
