A BRIGHT IDEA! EXHIBITION
Tuesday, October 28th, 5:30-7:30 pm
Inn on Broadway

[Register below]


Time to make some connections! We want to help the bright, innovative students from our local colleges and universities discover the rich variety of employers located in upstate New York. As a community that particularly values innovation and entrepreneurship, we're going to have some fun together in the process!

Contest: Students at all regional colleges are invited to enter our second contest for the most innovative ideas for a product or service. The competition concludes on October 28th with an exhibition at which the students present their ideas to the general public in a trade show style environment. They are vying for four $750 cash prizes.

Local companies will spend 1-2 hours discussing a Bright Idea with a college student or student team. They get the pleasure of meeting a talented prospective employee as they help students to discover that there are more than 3-4 big name companies in Rochester! (More info to your left.)

The final exhibition will be held on October 28th from 5:30-7:30 pm and we hope you'll attend! The event is free and open to the public, but your registration is requested below .
