NEW sponsors iRelaunch Return to Work Conference

The Network of Executive women is sponsoring and participating in the iRelaunch Return to Work Conference, an educational event that joins experienced professionals seeking to return to the workforce with career reentry experts and employers. The event, presented by career services provider iRelaunch and Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management, will be held April 27, 2012 at Evanston Hilton Garden Inn near Chicago.

Held four times a year in the U.S. and London, the iRelaunch Return to Work Conference focuses on return-to-work strategies and encourages employers and professionals to engage in substantive and quality conversations. The program emphasizes practical advice and real success stories.

More than 2,000 people have attended12 iRelaunch events in the last three years: 95 percent of participants are women, 75 percent have graduate degrees and 70 percent want to return to conventional full-time jobs, according to iRelaunch. More than half of attendees have "relaunched" their careers within one year of attending the conference.

The iRelaunch Return to Work Conference was created Carol Fishman Cohen and Vivian Steir Rabin, graduates of Harvard Business School and coauthors of Back on the Career Track: A Guide for Stay-at-Home Moms Who Want to Return to Work. Other conference sponsors include Merrill Lynch Wealth Management, Hyatt Hotels and Resorts, Accenture, Mom Corps and Make It Better.
