The URx Conference and URx Leaders Summit are key opportunities for anyone in the emerging talent space to network, gain insights, and stay ahead of the curve in University and Early Career recruiting. We understand that budget constraints are a reality, so we’ve put together five smart strategies to help you attend these valuable events without exceeding your budget.
1. Include the Event in Your Operating Budget
Attending URx events is a strategic move for anyone in University and Early Career recruiting. With fierce competition for top talent, staying up to date on industry trends is critical. By including the cost of attending URx in your operating budget (instead of professional development), you can align the event with your recruiting goals, making it easier to justify the investment.
2. Leverage Both Operating and Professional Development Budgets
If your operating budget is capped, try using both your operating and professional development budgets to cover the cost. This allows you to frame the event as both a strategic investment and a professional development opportunity, giving you more flexibility to secure approval for attendance.
3. Get Involved as a Speaker or Volunteer
Save on your ticket by contributing as a speaker or volunteer. Speakers and volunteers receive at least 50% off their tickets, giving you the chance to get involved while also reducing your costs. Plus, being a part of the event allows you to expand your network and elevate your professional profile.
4. Partner with Our Sponsors for Complimentary Tickets
If your company is a customer of one of our sponsors, you may be eligible for a complimentary ticket. Sponsors receive a limited number of tickets to distribute to their clients, so it’s worth reaching out to see if they can offer you one.
5. Take Advantage of Early Bird and Group Rates
Sign up early to take advantage of our early bird rates, which offer significant savings. If you’re planning to send a team, check out our group rates, which lower the cost per ticket for multiple attendees. These discounts make it easier to bring your team and maximize the value of attending.
Conclusion
Attending the URx Conference or Leaders Summit doesn’t have to break the bank. Whether it’s leveraging your budget, getting involved as a speaker, or taking advantage of early bird and group discounts, there are plenty of ways to save while still gaining invaluable insights and networking opportunities. We hope to see you at one of our upcoming events!
