With Black professionals disproportionately impacted by recent corporate layoffs, federal furloughs, and the looming possibility of another government shutdown, Adriane Simpson, CEO of The LinkedIn Pros is launching the Career Reset Summit, a two-day hybrid event on December 11–12, 2025, designed to support individuals navigating career disruption.
According to labor data and national reporting, Black workers have faced higher rates of job instability in 2024–2025, especially in federal positions, HR roles, corporate leadership, and tech-driven industries. The Career Reset Summit directly addresses this growing crisis by providing strategic tools, emotional support, and networking opportunities tailored to professionals rebuilding after sudden employment changes.

The summit is structured as a two-day hybrid experience, combining live community engagement in Atlanta with a national virtual extension to reach professionals across the country.
