Over the last week and a half, the entire URx team has been holding out for some glimmer of hope that we would be able to confidently postpone the URx Conference to a date in August. Unfortunately, that opportunity did not present itself, so we decided to cancel URx Conference 2020 rather than postpone it. Instead, we will bring you a new virtual event experience. As a volunteer-led team, we believe strongly in supporting each other and always moving forward.
So it is with great excitement that I announce URx Forward, May 7-8, 2020.
URx Forward is a live online event bringing together our community to be connected, inspired, and prepared for whatever the new realities of recruiting hold for us. I want to be clear that URx Forward is not an attempt to take URx20 online, but please don’t worry, URx Conference will be back better than ever May 6-7, 2021.
Currently, the team and I are redirecting our efforts to bring you and the community a fresh and timely experience. Our goal is to equip you with thought leadership, skill-building workshops, and opportunities to connect you to the resources that will move you and your teams #URxForward!
We will have more details on URx Forward next week. Most importantly, stay safe, stay healthy, and take care.
See you (online) soon!
