TechConnect Career Networking

Can we bring corporate giveaway items or literature about the company or jobs?

We ask that you only bring business cards or business card-sized info. TechConnect is more focused on the networking and information exchange aspect of connecting employers with students than swag. This also reduces the environmental impact of recruiting as well as your need to haul in extra items, not to mention the $ it will save in product and shipping!
