Learn how to create a new Career Fair event for your career center in this guide.

Getting Started: Setting Up Your Career Fair

Before creating a virtual or in-person career fair, gather the following essential information:

• Event dates and times
  • Start and end dates (with specific times).
  • Registration open/close dates for exhibitors and attendees (with times).
• Exhibitor package details
  • Package pricing.
  • Does the package include resume access?
  • Are job posting credits part of the deal?
• Attendee features
  • Should attendees be able to search job postings using a Conference Job Match filter?
• Additional details
  • Event description.
  • Exhibitor information.
  • Event time zone.
  • Dates to disable resume database search or job match filters.
  • A cover photo (1200x400 px).
  • Optional: Booth floor plan.

Once you’ve gathered all the above, you're ready to create the event in the ****admin.

Accessing Events in the admin panel

1. Log in to the admin panel. See more here: Log Into the Admin Area

You’ll see a full list of all events.

Creating a New Event

1. Click the +New Event button in the top-right corner.
