UF Career Showcase – Hybrid
University of Florida (UF)
Career Showcase, our hallmark career fair, is designed to help you find talented students and alumni for your organization. The largest career fair in the southeast, Showcase is traditionally a two-day event that highlights students in a wide variety of majors in one location. For Spring 2021, the event will transition from a two-day in-person only event to a four-day hybrid event. Our definition of hybrid is to offer both in-person and virtual engagement opportunities throughout the four day event. There will now be two in-person days (February 8 and 9) and four virtual days (February 8 – 11.)
Registration Fee:
Virtual: $595
In Person: $695 (Corporate), $495 (Non-Profit)
Hybrid Event Locations:
