Navigating career pivots during the middle to later stages of one's career is rarely straightforward. Making decisions to move into a new role, take a turn on your career path, or change employers or employment sectors, presents unique challenges during these stages.

Presentations are sought on topics including, but not limited to:
· Scholarship of mid-career professional development and retention
· Guidance for finding opportunities at the mid-career and beyond stage
· Decision-making processes when moving between individual contributor, project management, and/or personnel management roles
· Success stories from individuals who have taken a significant change in career direction
· Success stories from individuals who have overcome unique mid-career challenges
