2021 iRelaunch Virtual Employer Summit
April 28 — April 29, 2021
Virtual
Breaking new ground in employer return to work programming
The iRelaunch Virtual Employer Summit brings together the leading minds in building return to work programs. The Summit provides the opportunity to exchange ideas, discuss innovations with peers, and benefit from the subject matter expertise of iRelaunch. Attendees will have the added benefit of becoming part of the expanding network of return to work champions and program managers that comprise the iRelaunch Employer Community.
iRelaunch's Vision
At iRelaunch, our vision is for every employer running an entry level internship program for university students to be running a mid-career return to work (RTW) program for returning professionals, side by side.
The goal is for employers to develop a dedicated talent pipeline to hire high performing, high caliber relaunchers using in-house RTW programs that they own “end to end” in the same way they have developed dedicated pipelines to hire top university graduates using their in-house student internship programs.
Agenda
The iRelaunch Virtual Employer Summit agenda features topics we know our employers most want to learn about and discuss. Most sessions will be followed by moderated Q&A breakouts with each speaker. Highlights include:
- Lessons from a veteran champion of relaunchers and relaunch programs, DTCC's Phillip Anderson
- The latest trends we are seeing in RTW programs, especially in a post-Pandemic world: which Covid-related changes to RTW programs and to the relaunch process are expected to endure?
- Mastercard Relaunch Your Career and the first worldwide returnship cohort: a case study.
- Innovations in career reentry programming at three groundbreaking programs: Leadership of RTW programs at three companies talk about their latest innovations in RTW programming, using approaches that have never been done before
- Concurrent tracks/special sessions for
- Future and Early Stage Program Track: Where do I start?
- Mature and Later Stage Program Track: How to make them even better?
- Spotlight on Program Managers
- Perspective I: Two commercial banking professionals launched and "own" their company's RTW program.
- Perspective II: Program managers at two companies discuss how they launched and grew their RTW programs as part of the STEM Reentry Task Force.
- Panels of relaunchers in tech and finance talk about their experiences returning to work after long career breaks via a company program, and more.

Important note for prospective attendees
The Summit is a private event for a specific, employer-only audience. We will be vetting all prospective attendees, and only admit representatives from employers with existing return to work programs, or those interested in starting one. We do this to ensure the confidentiality of the setting for our speakers and for the audience interaction. Sessions are generally not recorded except in special situations. The Summit fee is $495 per person. Please indicate your interest here and we will be in touch shortly to follow up with registration details and logistics.
Here's what our 2021 Employer Summit attendees had to say ...
Tabbi Fink (Former) LexisNexis Encore Program ManagerThe summit was EXCELLENT! It was awesome to hear from companies that have more mature returnship programs and how they pivoted in light of covid. I also really enjoyed the program manager session. Overall, it was refreshing to know that others have faced some similar challenges and understand how they’ve overcome them.
2021 Employer Summit AttendeeIt was time well spent! There was a lot of insights shared and the conversations were all very supportive. A great community to belong to!
2021 Employer Summit AttendeeI absolutely LOVED the openness of communication at every session. Also the fact that you had sessions for companies starting from zero vs companies that are more established was great for ensuring the most relevant information sharing for everyone.
2021 Employer Summit AttendeeThank you for offering this. Very worthwhile!
