Fall Back into Your Career with Lockheed Martin

It's Time to Relaunch Your Career!

May 6 — May 8, 2025
Virtual, on the Radancy platform


Your launchpad to success

The iRelaunch Return to Work Conference is dedicated to helping you best prepare for your relaunch and get hired; we will meet you where you are anywhere in the career reentry process, from "I'm just starting" to "I'm ready!".

Connect with employers hiring relaunchers for their career reentry jobs, returnships and programs at our virtual job fair, watch live as employer senior leaders and program managers discuss their programs and why they value relaunchers in their organizations, get excellent job search advice from top relaunch coaches and hear relaunchers who are back at work talk frankly about their job searches and what led to their successful hires.

Unlock valuable insights and information

If you're feeling stuck in the career reentry maze, yearning to return to work but hitting roadblocks, the Conference is your gateway to unlocking invaluable insights into the relaunch process.

In the past 48 hours I've implemented many tips for strengthening my resume, preparing for interviews/chats, and applied to several re-launcher and re-ignite programs. Were it not for these panel sessions, I can guarantee I would flub my interviews and be totally unprepared for the chats. Here are some of my take-aways:

  • Stay positive
  • 'Do it scared' (everything new is by definition outside your comfort zone)
  • Mine your work and volunteer experiences (also your career break) for where you learned and practiced transferable skills
  • Pre-prepare chat messages in a document to copy and paste in order to save time and make more use of the 10min chat opportunities.

Who should attend?

This Conference is about relaunching your career. It is open to the public and meant for anyone who has the desire to get back to work after a multi-year career break regardless of your industry or field, the length of your career break, or the reason you chose to take a career break (child or elder care, health issues, pursuit of a personal interest, etc.).

Is this event only for women or mothers?

Not at all!

The event is open to anyone who has taken a career break, and is looking for tactical information and strategies on how to relaunch their career.

What can I expect?

The event will take place virtually over the course of 3 days. The first two days will consist of content only and will not have any networking with sponsoring employers. The entirety of Day Three will be dedicated to networking with our incredible sponsors.

How will content be delivered?

The Conference will take place on the Brazen platform.

During the three-day Conference, you will:

  • Hear from iRelaunch CEO and Co-founder Carol Fishman Cohen in a live keynote address
  • Hear from some of the nation’s largest employers on return to work career reentry strategies, what employers are looking for and the latest in return to work career reentry programming and returnships (live employer panel discussions)
  • Attend our popular “Chart Your Course: Navigate Your Relaunch Journey with Expert Guidance from Bryn Panee Burkhart” workshop (live session)
  • Get top advice from our iRelaunch coaching team (live panels)
  • Hear from successful relaunchers on how they returned to work
  • Visit with employer sponsor representatives who are hiring relaunchers (live employer booths)

How will I connect with employers?

iRelaunch uses the Brazen platform, which optimizes the experience for employers and relaunchers to connect at our virtual career fair.

When you register for the Conference, make sure to follow through to the link on the Brazen platform to complete your profile and resume upload there so the employer sponsors can see your full background.

Through the platform's orderly queue, you'll be able to have focused, text-based chat conversations and may also be invited by the representative to video or audio chat. You will have the option to accept the invitation to begin video or audio chatting or to decline and continue the text chat. Read how the Video-Audio-Chat experience will be during the Conference.

Your resume, if already uploaded to your profile, is automatically provided to employers when you enter their booths to chat.

With this easy-to-use online chat platform, you'll be able to confidently make your best impression and begin meaningful conversations with employers.

My favorite part of the day was when I was able to connect with recruiters from different companies, from the comfort of my home. It gave me newfound confidence and lifted my spirits. What's more, I have a few companies who gave me great feedback and have an interview lined up as well. Thank you, Team iRelaunch for creating this platform and making this otherwise confusing, lonesome journey very productive.
