Ed Fair Vendor Logistics

The five institutions that collaboratively present the Southwest Ohio/Northern Kentucky Education Career Fair look forward to your participation in this event on Tuesday, April 16, 2013 from 12:00 - 5:00 PM in the Cintas Center at Xavier University. Traditionally this event draws 400-500 interested candidates from the College of Mount St. Joseph, Northern Kentucky University, University of Cincinnati, Wilmington College, and Xavier University, making this event a prime opportunity to share information about your organization or service. Logistics for the fair are listed below.

CHECK IN
Vendors are asked to check in between 11:00 AM and 12:00 PM. Please enter through the east entrance of the Cintas Center which is the main entrance to the Schiff Family Conference and Banquet Center. Vendors should check in at the Information Table located at the bottom of the stairs. (Signage will point you in the right direction.) If you have not provided all the names of those representing your organization at the event, or would like to add representatives, please send them to Julie Ridge as soon as possible at employer@xavier.edu. This will allow for a more convenient check-in for your organization.

LUNCH
Lunch will be available for recruiters between 11:30 AM and 1:30 PM and may be enjoyed in the Employer Lounge or at your booth. Two complimentary lunches are included with each registration package. Additional lunches may be purchased in advance for $20 each by contacting Julie Ridge at employer@xavier.edu. Your name tag will serve as your lunch ticket for this event, so please be sure to wear it when visiting the Employer Lounge.

TABLE LOGISTICS
A sign with your organization's name will be posted at your assigned booth. Your booth includes a 6' table with table cloth and chairs. If you have ordered electricity access, we will have that prepared for you at your booth. Wireless internet access is offered to all vendors at no charge.

VENDOR DISPLAYS: 12:00 - 5:00 PM
Vendors will staff their booths during the Candidate Interview Session (12:30-5:00 PM), allowing candidates awaiting their scheduled interviews to connect with vendor representatives for information and networking. Vendor booths will be stationed in the lower level lobby, a "hub" of candidate activity as they await scheduled interviews and make their way to/from scheduled interviews.
