You are welcome to move freely throughout the event. Attend both breakout time blocks, choose the sessions most relevant to you, step out for a scheduled appointment, or spend additional time connecting with recruiters, visiting sponsors, completing a résumé review, taking a professional headshot, and building meaningful professional relationships.

• Professional headshots

• Recruiter tables
• Sponsor booths
• Employer and industry connections
• Professional networking

Project YOU is built around a Professional Growth Framework that guides the entire Summit experience. From the opening keynote and networking activities to breakout sessions, career conversations, and the Virtual Experience, every aspect of the event is intentionally designed to support one or more of the four pillars of professional development.

While speakers and session topics may vary, our focus remains the same—helping you Design Your Future. Develop Your Strengths. Deliver Your Potential.
