The garage is located a few blocks south of the ARC, so if you have materials to drop off, you can do so at the main entrance of the ARC at 284 Earl St. before proceeding to the garage.

Cancellation Policy

Please send notice of cancellation in writing to qocr@queensu.ca. If notice of an exhibitor cancelling their registration is received 14 days or more before the event, a full refund of the registration fee less a $100 administrative fee will be given. 

If the cancellation is received after the 14 day cut-off date, no refund will be issued. This policy applies whether or not payment was submitted at the time of online registration - exhibitors who cancel within the 14 day cut-off date will still receive an invoice. 

Exhibitors who register for the Fair but do not attend on the day of the event will be required to pay the full cost of registration for the Fair. No registration will be accepted for a future event until payment for the unattended Fair is submitted.  

 

Here's what previous exhibitors at our Career Fair have to say:

Thank you both for the success of yesterday. The fair was exceptionally well organized, attended, and my staff delighted with the candidates we met.

You guys put together a great event. Everything was well organized. [We] found it easy to get our gear unloaded and set up, and the staff was very helpful. All in all I feel like we had a successful day.

Sponsorship is an excellent way to build brand awareness among your target student audience.

This Fair attracts upwards of 1,500 students annually from all years, programs, and disciplines.

Queen's students can access Career Services resources such as counseling year-round. During the academic year, qualified counselors run student workshops, including a series on preparing for each Career Fair. Students are encouraged to read our exhibitor guide and do their research before attending. On the day of the event, many bring their resume and are prepared to set up an interview. Once at the Career Fair, students are greeted by our counselors, and can even participate in a Tour of the event.

• Send representatives who can speak directly to your current opportunities, especially Queen's alumni or other new graduates who can connect with students.
• Maximize your impact at the fair through sponsorship of our LinkedIn Booth, On-Site Resume Clinic, or Student Ambassador Apparel.
• Maintain a year-round presence on campus in print and online with an Advertisement Package.
• Build your brand awareness with students through an Information Session Package.
• Post your current job opportunities to our MyCareer portal to reach as many Queen's students as possible.
