Free The PhD Summit is different from the career conferences you may have been to before - and not just because it's virtual! Combining a Digital Course + live panel networking + interactive workshops + relatable inspiration, it is focused on:

1. Shifting your academic mindset to one that resonates with employers.

2. Humanizing the isolating process of selling yourself and finding the right jobs for you.

3. Putting a logical design framework around the job hunt process.

4. Explaining the REASONING behind career advice, so you can apply it in your own situation.

In addition, this event is hosted, supported and designed by fellow PhDs working outside of academia.

Informed by years of non-academic work experience, 1:1 personalized career coaching with diverse PhDs, and working hand in hand with career development professionals at universities and research institutions, they're bringing you the best of what they've learned, so you don't have to go through what they did.

This Career Design Summit is an independent event supported by generous PhDs and career advocates who are employed outside of academia. It is a proud product of the Free the PhD Summit team.

Its a career guidance palooza, you do not want to miss!
