9:00 AM - 9:10 AM MPACE Welcome - MPACE President 9:10 AM - 10:00 AM Best of…Conference Table Discussions Have you missed the popular conferences this year? No worries! The facilitators of these table discussions attended the conferences. They are volunteering to share their best takeaways, the values of attending the conference, etc.

1. Best of NACE Conference 2021 More than 1,500 career development and campus-recruiting professionals attended this conference. It is one of the largest conferences in our field.

2. Best of NCDA Global Conference 2021 The major focus of NCDA is to provide resources and advocacy to career educators. Many topics are focusing on how to be more effective when interacting with students/clients.

3. Best of Handshake Access 2021 Handshake’s annual user conference gathered over 3,400 career development professionals with a theme of “re-envisioning the future of career education”. Many discussions highlight lessons learned during the pandemic.

10:10 AM - 11:00 AM Lessons Learned from the Pandemic 1. Employer Panel Discussion This sneak peek provides career practitioners a look inside companies to see their operations and how we can best help students when looking at those organizations.

2. “Doing More With Less - Lessons Learned from the Pandemic” Since the pandemic started, most of us have had to pivot. Some faced budget cuts; the others had to reduce work hours or total number of staff. In this discussion, the facilitators will share ideas they developed and implemented in order to maximize the limited resources at hand.
