This is an event that is designed to help hospitality students (such as myself) make connections with potential employers. It is a very valuable event for those of us that are graduating in the near future.
I didn't take any pictures at the event because I was more focused on dropping off my resume, but I will try to describe it as best I can. Essentially, each employer got an equal space for their booth, and they were allowed to decorate it with back drops and promotional items from their restaurant, resort, club, or cruise line. Some were definitely more appealing than others, such as the Town and Country Club of St. Paul vs. Aramark food service company. I was able to drop off my resume with three or four different companies, so I found the overall experience worthwhile. The only negative aspect of the whole thing was that it was SO hot in the banquet hall. Employers and students were all very uncomfortable because of the temperature, which also was distracting when it came to holding pertinent conversations.
This event was advertised highly in all hospitality based courses, mostly by word-of-month. This is the only advertisement I could find for the conference, and as you can see, it's only a "save the date" postcard that is usually sent to prospective employers. I found that the design was pretty appealing, but it lacked a lot of important information such as time, place, etc. (as you can see, i had to hand write the location of the event).
