Career Launchpad
A Career Summit For Young Adults Ready To Land Your Dream Job (internships too) Doing Work You Love
Without 100s of Applications To Total Strangers
Without compromising who they are or settling for what they want
Even if they’re struggling and don’t know what their music is yet
You don’t have to do it all on your own
The smart way is to let others help you - and I’m going to show you HOW to find them, connect with them and let them help you.
If you're thinking "there's got to be a better way"
YOU'VE FOUND IT
A career summit presented by Warren Gibbons & Vladislav Van Wyk in loving honor of Nolan Gibbons
📅 WHEN: October 24 | 11:00 AM – 2:30 PM EST
📍 Live on Gatherly (free virtual event)
🗓️ What to Expect
Career Launchpad Summit is hosted on the Gatherly.io platform - a virtual platform designed the way people attend conferences.
You'll move through a real, structured day:
👋 A warm welcome
👋 PRESENTATION: by coach Warren Gibbons - OPPORTUNITY MAGNET: HOW YOUNG ADULTS GET HIRED WITHOUT APPLYING ONLINE - EVEN IF YOU'RE YOUNG & INEXPERIENCED
How to get hired doing work you love - without 100s of applications to total strangers, rejections & ghosting - even if you're young and inexperienced
How to become an opportunity magnet & uncover job opportunities that only you have access to - and your competitors don’t
Make connections with industry insiders & established professionals who will introduce you, advocate for you, help you and even mentor you
🎶 Nolan's story and why this event matters
🕹️ Q&A PANEL with Established Professionals & Industry Insiders and engaging conversations.
👋 PLAY THE NETWORKING GAME: a fun/experiential workshop - you'll finally learn how to network (the easy way)
practice timeless peopling skills that result in introductions and opportunities
make real connections
Learn & practice the soft skills that actually matter (hint: soft skills are the #1 thing that employers hire for)
Why It's Different 🚀
Most career events for college students and grads show them how to build a resume, or how to apply to jobs online. But you can find that stuff everywhere just by searching it on Google or AI.
This event shows you:
1) how to become an opportunity magnet, so job opportunities are drawn to you
2) how to access the hidden job market - jobs that get filled without ever getting posted - and your competitors never even see.
3) how to build real connections with established professionals who will introduce you, advocate for you, help you and even mentor you
Even if you're young and inexperienced - and even if you think you don't have a network
Not only will you finally learn HOW to network, but you'll get to practice it (live) in a supportive space with established professionals who want to help. We even make it into a game. It's actually fun!
Coach Warren Gibbons will show you why applying to jobs online is one of the hardest ways to get hired, and what to do instead, live!
You'll get your questions answered + meet and connect with established professionals
In honor of his son Nolan, a gifted young musician, the Nolan Gibbons Memorial Fund will take the stage too, giving spotlight to the young artists the Fund supports and the story of why this all started.
👥 Who This Is For
YOUNG ADULTS (age 20-30) trying to land your dream job
You're finally ready to start your life...but stuck in the apply-and-wait loop
You’ve been applying to 100s of jobs only to getting rejected and ghosted
landed a couple of interviews but no job offers
and now it’s messing with your head
worried you'll have to move back in with your parents (or maybe you already have)
You’re thinking “THERE’S GOT TO BE A BETTER WAY”
You’re parents have been telling you “You gotta get out there and network”
You know networking is important but you don’t know how (no one’s actually taught you how)
PARENTS OF YOUNG ADULTS
Want to see your child take off - so you can relax knowing they're going to be ok
Feeling the pressure
Wondering “are we ready for this?”
You’re worried
You want to help but it comes across like you’re pressuring them
MENTORS + ESTABLISHED PROFESSIONALS + INDUSTRY INSIDERS with wisdom to impart (people your parent’s age who have real connections & wisdom to impart)
💛 The Cause
A portion of all proceeds and donations from this event support the Nolan Gibbons Memorial Fund, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit providing grants and scholarships to emerging performing artists.
