My expectations for URx were VERY high - so many of my colleagues, friends, and partners in the industry have shared the importance and value of this conference with me for years. What I can say is that this conference reached and EXCEEDED all of the expectations I had - the insights, networking, and overall community left me feeling inspired and motivated to continue this work!

A platform for collaboration; and a spark of ideas to implement at scale. What a fantastic experience! Connect with, and learn from people across the entire emerging talent industry. Being in the same space with folks I can learn from, partner with, and support was special!

As a first-time attendee, the URx conference was more than I could have imagined! No matter if you were a speaker, sponsor or recruiter, everyone engaged as active learners throughout the conference. The space was inclusive, inspiring and informative, and I left having developed genuine and meaningful connections with a number of other attendees. This may have been my first but will definitely not be my last URx conference!"

URx Conference is an event you don't want to miss if you are in the University Recruiting space! I learned so much that will help me in my career as a UR Professional.

A a demonstration of what happens when a community comes together and decides to power through regardless of circumstances. I left super motivated and ready to plan out our intern program. Can't wait for next year. Thank you!

If you want to learn from the best in the industry, your peers, this is the conference for you!

This was my first time at URx and I will be returning next year! Gained so much valuable information that I can use for my own Intern program!
