iRelaunch Return to Work Conferences

Don’t miss the iRelaunch Return to Work Conference on October 4th in New York City and on November 30th in Washington, D.C.!

This is a great event if you’ve been out of the workforce and are contemplating a return.  I took a train up to last year’s conference in NYC, and it was worth every penny.  Great speakers, tons of practical advice, connections with fellow relaunchers and, best of all, employers.  I’m especially excited that the conference is coming to Washington this year.

Here’s what iRelaunch founders and Back on the Career Track co-authors Carol Cohen and Vivian Rabin have to say about the event:

“Through our many iRelaunch Return to Work Conferences around the country and in London—this is our 10th in the last 3 years—we have helped literally hundreds of women and men return to the workforce after a career break—whether voluntary or involuntary, and whether they were out for 3 months or 20+ years.  Several of last year’s NYC Conference attendees found jobs within just a few months of attending the Conference and credited the Conference for helping them land their new opportunities.  Last year’s NY Conference sold out, so we urge people to register early.”
