Breakdown
The Career Fair will provide a connection point for those seeking a residency, internship, or employment position(s) with those who are seeking to fill such positions.
ACVO understands that the Career Fair will overlap some sessions. We will continue to record all on-site sessions and make these available on a complimentary basis to attendee’s post-conference.
Pre-registration is required. Hosts must be a registered attendee of the ACVO/AVOT Conference.
TABLE HOSTS
Hosts are limited to one table per company and no more than two representatives per table; names to be provided at registration. Hosts are not allowed to ‘work the room’ and thus encroach on space around other tables. One entity may promote multiple opportunity types at their table (e.g. both a residency and internship, or all three if pre-registered to do so). Those hosting tables ‘could’ be placed next to a competitor; we do not guarantee placement but try to space tables when possible.
Each table will have a balloon(s) flying high above the table, with a different color based on what type of position they are looking to fill. Some tables may have more than one balloon.
Gold Balloons - Residency
Black Balloons - Internship
White Balloons - Employment
included
Pre-meeting promotion. Program/clinic listed by name on the conference website, one blog post, one photo, and a link to an ad hosted on the facility website.
One draped, ‘high reception-style' table to lay materials on and to 'staff' like an exhibit booth. No chairs will be provided to promote casual a flow atmosphere. Only 1 to 2 hosts may staff the table at one time.
Organization/name included on all pre-promotion.
Color coded balloon(s) will float high above your table to serve as a visual identifier; advertising your participation either as hosting a residency, internship, or job opportunity (or more than one).
An identification tent card at the table identifying the program name.
Inclusion on the conference website
Description
Provide a networking opportunity to connect potential residents with ACVO Members, or their employer representative, that oversee an ABVO-approved residency program. (Complimentary)
Assist ACVO Members offering an internship opportunity with outreach. (Complimentary)
When room allows, provide a social connection for ACVO Members, or their direct employer representative, who are seeking to hire for a veterinary ophthalmologist position at their clinic.
Conference attendees are invited to visit ‘table-hosts’ in the Fair, who will be prepared to explain their offerings to interested parties. Each program will be expected to bring their own promotional materials for their table. Programs not hosting a table may also drop off flyers on a general informational table, if space allows. Each host table will be identified as either a residency, internship, employment opportunity, or a combination of any of the three in a visual manner. Additional cocktail seating will be scattered around where appropriate, to accommodate longer conversations as needed.
All attendees are welcome to attend this open event complimentary, on a flow basis. Non-alcoholic beverages will be provided.
