URx Conference 2021: Moderator Highlights
- Smaller groups (breakout sessions for zoom panels) – more face to face interaction
- Less is more – smaller number of virtual events, but increase quality of content / thought put into each individual event
- Traditional in person presentations don’t translate well -> need to be more interactive, allow for more practical / tangible benefits (ie. workshops, mock interviews)
- Partner closely with your university partners! Be in line with academic calendars; determine what student’s needs are (they are constantly changing especially with a virtual environment)
- Invest in technology to make sure your tools are setting you up for success internally
- Panels typically had the most student engagement
- Partnering with classes to do case study (again touching on practical benefits) – makes you stand out from other companies because students receive real life hands on experience
- Tracking how many invites to get to a goal of hires – make sure events are meaningful by tying in ROI, working backwards and making sure you are intentional with sourcing / promoting events
- Overall themes of creativity, flexibility, adaptability
