Making It in the City LIVE! was very resourceful, especially since I live so far away. I met a lot of great people, and the most important thing that I learned that is essential for life in any big city is the power of networking. My only regret is that I couldn't stay a few more days! - Stacy L.

About Making It in the City LIVE! conferences

Making It in the City LIVE! is a full-day networking, career and 'city survival' conference targeting young professionals in big cities nationwide. Different than a traditional career fair, Making It in the City LIVE! is a sophisticated and comprehensive professional event, focusing on what it takes to 'make it' on your own. Conference attendees get the inside scoop on success by participating in interactive workshops, lectures and panels with noted speakers and business leaders on everything from landing your dream job to starting a business, networking, buying vs. renting, dating and becoming a valuable member of the community.

In addition to a full roster of speakers and workshops, participants will have access to our exclusive career and lifestyle marketplace (click to see our recent conference vendors), open throughout the conference, filled with lifestyle vendors and top recruiters actively looking for talent. Other unique elements of the program include the Power and Networking Lunch Programs, Resume Critique and Image Consulting. With the success of our March 2008 event in Atlanta, Making It in the City LIVE! is gearing up for an exciting 'big and expensive' city tour.

If you're looking to 'Dream Big and Pay the Rent,' you've come to the right place! Check back for future conference dates!
