Contact Conference, now in its 17th year, will continue to be fully virtual for 2022 due to the continued uncertainty in our world. We continue to see a complete transformation in the way we work, collaborate, learn, communicate, and help others. Our theme, Career Design—your DIY Project, will present new ideas to continue to adapt, learn, and pivot during a time of transition.

Contact Conference is the perfect opportunity to network with colleagues and practitioners, share ideas and best practices, expand knowledge, and participate in the latest discussions involving our practice. After a challenging year, we will continue to gain a renewed spirit and perspective on the important career development practice we are passionate about.

The conference is a professional development opportunity between career development, employment, and education, bringing speakers, presentations, and relevant insightful discussions to solutions-focused participants.
