Make the Most of Your Conference Experience
Join us for the ADRP 2022 Annual International Conference and “Soar to New Heights” in your career. Attend our networking events, design a session schedule that best fits your professional goals, and hear from industry leaders and pioneers.
The many new additions this year will elevate your experience and expand your personal and professional networks. You can take advantage of both planned and informal networking as you enjoy being back in person for this always-enlightening conference.
The launch party on Tuesday evening and the formal networking reception on Wednesday will offer a chance to meet new friends and reconnect with ‘old’ ones in a celebratory atmosphere. The ADRP Connections Lounge in the foyer will be the perfect place for informal networking and an ideal meeting location throughout the conference. Conversation starter questions in various conference locations will provide a great icebreaker to get the ball rolling. There will also be lots of time for impromptu networking.
The conference mobile app will provide additional networking and communication functions to optimize the conference sessions, help you learn more about your fellow attendees, and allow you to reach out to them to continue the dialogue. You will be able to post comments, answer questions, and join discussions with other attendees in the conference discussion board.
This year, ADRP is presenting an exciting new initiative, the 2022 ADRP International Conference Cohorts Program Pilot. The program will be focused on meaningful and purposeful facilitated networking between conference attendees, allowing participants to connect on a meaningful level before, during, and after the conference. Cohorts will be created with random assignments to allow people from different types of organizations, different experience levels, and different locations to come together and exchange ideas and questions. If you would like to participate in the cohorts program, please fill out this form by August 26.
This year’s service project will help support women in the Albuquerque community. We’re partnering with the local chapter of Dress for Success, which provides professional clothing and accessories to women who have scheduled a job interview or are entering the workforce. They also offer workshops and participate in local career fairs. Look for the Dress for Success table to pick up a blank notecard and write a note of encouragement. You can also make a monetary gift on their website.
We are thrilled to also offer dine-arounds to our attendees to enhance your conference experience. Savor an extra networking opportunity so you can get to know one another outside of a conference setting while you enjoy delicious food. Dine-arounds will be available on Wednesday, September 21, and Thursday, September 22. Visit our website for more information, and view an interactive map of the area.
Whatever your interest and bandwidth for professional development and connections are, you will find it at the ADRP Conference. Please register if you haven’t yet. Registration closes on September 7 at 7 a.m. PT. For more conference information, our conference website.
We look forward to seeing you in New Mexico!
