Professional Diversity announces success of co-produced hybrid career event

Professional Diversity Network announced the success of the first hybrid career event produced in conjunction with the company’s most recently acquired subsidiary, Expo Experts, that was held on March 14, 2023 at the Congress Plaza Hotel in Chicago, IL. "We are excited to see the synergy we had planned for between the two entities is coming to fruition right out of the gate, providing broader accessibility for employers and job seekers to engage," said Adam He, CEO of PDN. "The Chicago event will be the first of many hybrids, co-produced events including the upcoming April event in Boston, for which we already have some key employers attending, and the October event in Chicago." The event included two pavilions: a Professional Diversity Pavilion and an Engineering, Technology and Security Clearance Pavilion, designed to attract diverse candidates who may also have STEM-based background. The event provided both employers and job candidates the option to participate virtually or in-person. The event had over 330 candidates registered, of whom 161 candidates attended the event virtually only and 90 attended in-person, and nearly 150 attendees were invited to attend a virtual or in-person interview.
