You can find an up to date listing of the sponsoring employers that will be recruiting at the May Conference on the event page. For specific details about each employer's return to work program, open positions and eligibility requirements, please click on the sponsor’s logo which will take you to the employer's information page about their program.

iRelaunch does not have specifics into the details of each employer's program, so it is best to conduct your own research by referencing Steps 19 and 20 of the Roadmap to guide you in your own employer research. Access the Roadmap by logging into your iRelaunch account and entering the Roadmap Product from your Library.

We highly recommend you do this research ahead of time so that you can make the most efficient use of your networking day with employers. Use your organizational research to develop your own strategy of which employers are at the top of your list to chat with on networking day.

No, May 9 and 10 will be dedicated content days (no networking or chatting with employers). On May 11th, the dedicated networking day, there will be no live broadcasts.

All chats are 1:1

Chats start as text-based but an employer may invite you to do an audio/video chat. It is then up to you to decide if you would like to shift to audio/video or remain in text chat. Please note that captioning is not available in the 1:1 audio/video chats.

• Yes. Make sure your “Chat Availability” is set to “Available.”
• You can get in line to chat with as many employers as you’d like. Enter a sponsor booth through the Conference Lobby and click the green "CHAT" button. Repeat this process to enter a different booth.
• You won’t be put into multiple chats at the same time and you won’t be pulled out of chat that you’re currently in.

Unfortunately, you are unable to choose a specific representative within a sponsor booth.

Please understand that all attendees may not be able to speak with all the employers of their choice as there are a limited number of representatives allotted for each sponsor.

An employer may invite you to engage in a video chat, so wear something you would be comfortable wearing in that situation. We also recommend you are aware of what is in your background.

Ask for their contact information during your chat. If you were unable to connect with a recruiter at a sponsoring organization that you are interested in, please note that some sponsors have chosen to make the names of their recruiters and other employer representatives visible within their booths on the Brazen platform. Note that iRelaunch is not authorized to provide registrants with names or contact information of sponsor representatives or recruiters.

Yes, you will have access to this information for 6 months after the Conference. Go to the “History” tab in your Brazen account to see this information. For more information, see Brazen's helpful information page on how to access chat transcripts.

All sponsors who are participating will have representatives on hand to chat except SWE.

Please follow the instructions here. Be sure to respond and then log in and show up when the time comes!

Please understand that all attendees may not be able to speak with all the employers of their choice as there are a limited number of representatives allotted for each sponsor.

It's important to note that, just like with any in-person conference event where you may be several people deep in line to wait and talk with a representative at a booth, that there will be queues in the line to chat with sponsors and depending on the time of day and staffing of the booths, certain times may have a longer wait than others (such as when the Networking Day first begins). Expect there to be around 250 - 300 other relaunchers in the event at any given time.

Yes! You can view open roles in the employer booths in Brazen by logging in to the May 11th networking day; the link can be found in your iRelaunch account. If you see any roles you are interested in, you should apply and then mention it during your employer chat. Also be sure to register on the Job Board to see any jobs posted by these and other employers (even after the conference ends!).

We encourage you to have a cover letter when you submit your resume.

Yes, employers have access to attendee demographic information and resumes ahead of time.

If you are interested in a job, be straightforward with employers about whether you could relocate. Some employers may be moving to virtual jobs, but this is employer and role specific.

All relaunchers (people who have been on a career break) have a chance to get a job.

This varies by employer and we highly recommend you do some research on the employer's return to work program and eligibility before the networking day. Even if you're still not sure whether you're eligible, we do encourage employers to be flexible in their definition of a career break so don’t self select out and assume you're ineligible, but do be transparent about your career break and what you did during that time.

Yes! Join our private iRelaunch Return To Work Forum Facebook group and LinkedIn Group.
