Partners and brands
"WOW what an amazing event! I had so many people approach us that had never heard of SheJumps before, it was incredible for us for exposure and for recruiting for this role- I spoke with a couple great candidates!... The event felt very well-organized and I was so impressed by the turn out."
"We were really happy to see such a huge turnout and have so much interest and engagement!"
"I tried to snag you for a quick hello at the networking event at Outside Festival earlier this year, it was so packed that I couldn't get a moment in! I made so many new connections there and loved seeing some of our Title Nine Movers & Makers with tables."
"It was such a great event, and I'm so glad we were able to participate... After connecting with my leadership, we're interested in continuing the conversation about hosting a career fair."
"The organization of everything was among the best I've ever seen, so truly applause there. It was very easy to set up, know what to bring, and navigation. You and your team are beyond amazing!!"
"Thanks for creating such a stellar event for the community. People are still talking about GATHER and I know are eager for more. ... y'all are so wonderfully connecting everyone and providing the inspiration for people to pursue their passions."
"Thanks so much for putting on the OR Gatherings event. I really enjoyed participating and thoroughly appreciate what you and the team continue to build ... a true resource for both the outdoor industry and those looking to break in!"
"Thank you SO MUCH for inviting me to be part of the event! I had such a great time and really enjoyed getting to connect with everyone."

"I think what was most valuable was just the range of experience and expertise that came through the building. Definitely much more diverse than I was expecting and a great way to tell the story of the employee experience at Peak Design through multiple different lenses... it seemed like most folks did research before coming which was awesome."
