How many alumni will participate in the AJF?

We expect between 500-700 Stanford alumni to attend.

May I bring a display and/or a backdrop?

Yes, as long as it fits around the provided 2'x8' table and does not interfere with adjacent tables or project into the area in front of the table. Any displays that spill over into other company table areas may be asked to be taken down by Stanford Engineering staff.

Will we have access to the internet and electricity?

The Museum has an open wireless line that does not require a password. Please assume that with 90+ companies at the Job Fair, downloading time may be slow and plan accordingly. There will also be an IT Technician available to you should you encounter technical issues you can’t solve. 

Each table comes with its own supply of electricity and plug-in.

Will we be provided refreshments?

A box meal will be available for recruiters in the Employer Lounge on the 2nd floor starting at 2:30 p.m. Refreshments will also be available throughout the day. 

Note: Employers and Alumni will each have separate lounge areas. We request that employers do not enter the Alumni Lounge area as this is intended to be a space for alumni to network with each other, unwind, and/or prepare for their visits to company tables.
