Career Fair Tables
Expect a 6-foot table, a black tablecloth, and two task chairs. Free-standing banners are welcome; however, please tuck them behind your table or directly to the side to clear the walkway. Company-branded tablecloths and handouts are welcome. If you would like to showcase projects, we suggest the use of an IPAD or laptop that can hold charge or be recharged during the lunch hour. This suggestion is due to possible trip hazards and unforeseen Wi-Fi/electrical issues.
Note: If your company needs to mail items prior to the career fair, please make sure your items are delivered by Wednesday, February 4th, 2026. The mailing address is provided below. Please also note, TSACS is unable to ship your items back. Arrangements should be made to drop off at an Auburn or Montgomery shipping location following departure from the Expo.
