TechConnect Career Networking

What can I bring?

A Registered Company is welcome to bring a company-branded tablecloth, marketing materials and small promotional items. PLEASE do not bring a booth, banner or any equipment demos. We will ask that you remove these items if they are displayed. The goal is to hold true to TechConnect’s mission to focus on connecting employers with students with emphasis on networking and conversation. At this time, we do not have space to store boxes, so please bring these items with you.

What is the dress code?

The dress code for industry networking events is business casual.

Business casual attire may include pants, shirts, skirts, and dresses that, while not formal, are appropriate for a professional environment. Clothing should be pressed, and should be neither too loose nor too tight. Torn or frayed clothing is unacceptable, as is anything that has words images or pictures that may be offensive. Examples of acceptable business casual attire include a sweater, blouse, polo, or dress shirt with pants or a skirt.

Will students bring resumes?
