This is your chance to make valuable contacts with potential employers, so plan to visit booths, talk to company reps, and view job postings while you explore the exhibit hall.

In addition, there is a new career pavilion networking happy hour reception on Tuesday, October 19, from 4 to 6 p.m. in the expo hall. Refreshments will be provided, and casual networking with company representatives is encouraged!
