Career and Opportunities Fair - ESWcon26

At each ESWcon, students and exhibitors are able to connect, network, and build relationships through the career fair. We hope that ESWcon26 will continue this tradition by providing a diverse selection of businesses and organizations to engage with. We are currently in the search for partners to table at the career fair. There are also opportunities to sponsor the career fair and showcase opportunities such as graduate programs and professional certifications.
