    Premium Registration offers enhanced visibility, convenience, and an elevated recruiting experience at our career fairs. For an additional $100/$250 per booth (on top of the standard registration fee), premium employers receive:

    • Reserved Parking: Enjoy one reserved parking spot near the venue for added convenience on fair day.
    To register, simply select the Premium Add-On during your Handshake registration. Once approved, our event team will reach out to coordinate booth placement and promotion. Space is limited, so we recommend registering early to guarantee your premium status.
  • How can I ship my materials?

    Please ship your items to arrive a few days before the event. Plan an extra day for your item(s) to go to BYU main mailroom before being delivered to our office.

  • What are the driving and parking directions for the Career Fairs?

    Parking lot 49Y is east of the LaVell Edwards football stadium and is entered by turning at the traffic light labeled "Events Parking". This lot is reserved all day for employer parking. Shuttles from the stadium to the east entrance of the WSC (Wilkinson Student Center) will be provided all day during the fair. If you have questions regarding shuttles, visit the employer check-in table or call at (801) 422-3000

    If you are using GPS navigation, use the following destination address:

    LaVell Edwards Stadium, Provo, UT 84604

    (Plan for approximately 1 hour of travel time from the Salt Lake City Airport)

    To drop off heavy items that won't fit in the shuttle (8-passenger minivan), go directly to the Wilkinson Student Center (WSC) first:

    1. From the stadium parking lot, turn left on University Parkway towards the mountains (east) 
    2. Turn right onto 900 East.
    3.  Turn right on Campus Lane and continue to the WSC roundabout.
    4. After dropping off­ your supplies to volunteers outside the WSC, follow the “Employer Parking” signs back to Lavell Edwards Stadium. (You will turn left on 900 East, left on University Parkway, and right at the light called "Events Parking" into the stadium parking lot.)
    This lot & shuttle are available ONLY on career fair days.

  • When do I need to arrive to set up my booth for the Fairs?

    9/16 Civil & Construction Career Fair: 7:00 AM - 8:45 AM

    9/17 STEM Career Fair: 7:00 AM - 8:45 AM

    9/23 Data Science & Actuarial Fair: 8:15 AM - 8:45 AM

    10/15 Grad Fair: 9:00 AM - 10:45 AM

    *Since there are changes being made right up until the fair, we won’t be able to tell you your booth location ahead of time. When you arrive on the day of the fair, we will show you to your booth.
  • How big are the booths? Will my booth have electricity?

    Each booth space is exactly 8 feet wide, 5 feet deep, and 7 feet high. It includes a 6-ft table and two chairs, and electricity is provided at no additional charge—there is no need to request it separately.

    Out of respect for other employers, please keep your displays within the allotted 8-foot width. If your display exceeds 8 feet, you must reserve an additional booth at the same rate as your original. If you do not reserve an extra booth and your display impedes another organization’s space, you will be asked to remove or adjust your display.

    Each booth accommodates up to 4 representatives total. If your organization brings more than 4 representatives per booth, you must reserve an additional booth. Booths are not large enough to comfortably or safely host additional representatives, and doing so can create crowding for neighboring booths.

    Please note that pipe and drape will not be available at the fairs. Be sure that any branded materials are printed only on one side, as materials may be visible from the booth directly behind yours.

  • How can I prepare to recruit effectively before the fair?

    Great recruiting starts well before the fair. Taking a few simple steps ahead of time can significantly improve the quality of your interactions and help you connect with the right candidates.

    1. Post Your Jobs & Internships in Advance

    Make your opportunities visible to BYU students by posting on Handshake prior to the fair.
    • Students actively review postings before attending and come prepared with targeted questions
    • Many prefer to apply ahead of time so conversations at the fair can be more meaningful

    2. Come Prepared to Engage 


    • Know which roles you’re hiring for and who you’re targeting
      • We recommend referencing this quick guide to all BYU Majors
    • Be ready to answer questions about roles, expectations, and growth opportunities
    • Be ready to speak to all students, from freshmen to seniors

    3. Make It Easy to Stay Connected

    Students don't want to only be directed to your company website; they want to build connections.
    • ⁠Have business cards or quick contact info readily available
    • Provide QR codes or direct links to LinkedIn
  • How do I schedule an interview room?

    For instructions on how to request an On-Campus Interview, please click here.

    Request interview rooms through Handshake two weeks in advance of the fair. 
    • If you have already requested rooms, you can verify your request via Handshake.
    • **Please note: due to high demand, same-day requests for new or additional interview space cannot be accommodated. There is a limited amount of interview rooms available, so please plan accordingly.
  • How do I schedule an information session?

    For instructions on how to request an Information Session, please visit this page.

    Request rooms through Handshake two weeks in advance of the fair.
