Information Sessions are typically held in the evening and vary from 1 to 1.5 hour time blocks.

On-Campus Interviews

Space to hold on-campus interviews will be available to all exhibitors on Thursday, October 11 from 8 am to 5pm in the ICI Center. Requests for interview space should be made at the time of registration via the EagleHire Network and will be handled on a first-come, first-serve basis based on room availability.

Parking Information

Staffing Your Booth/Alumni

We strongly encourage you to staff your booth from 9am to 4pm to best connect with our great group of constituents. Please note that checking in before 9am on Wednesday will allow you to be ready to meet our excited attendees when our doors open at 9am. Remember also that early check-in will be available starting on Tuesday at noon.

One of the best practices we recommend is the use of ERAU alumni in the recruiting process. If possible, select alumni to represent your company at this event.


Lunch Time

Lunch is included with your registration (up to 4 attendees per booth).


The EagleHire Network

We encourage employers to post positions for which they are recruiting on our EagleHire Network prior to arrival. This action will help you showcase those positions and increase student and alumni interest. You can access the EagleHire Network at http://erau.experience.com/emp/sblogin. This system will also help you manage interview schedules if you choose to hold on-campus interviews on Thursday, October 11. In addition, you will have the ability to access our many resume books, which include students and alumni from all three campuses. Our Career Services Staff can assist you with this process, so do not hesitate to contact us to get started. There is no fee for this service.
