When innovation and opportunity tap into a highly skilled and productive workforce,
the greater Rochester region is at its best!
Digital Rochester
and the High Tech Business Council (HTBC) are partnering to present our third
Job Fair for Technology Professionals, an event designed to match area professionals with the opportunities that will boost the economic potential of our region.
Two previous events have each attracted over 40 companies and 600-800 attendees!
We are currently seeking employers to exhibit at this event. The cost to participate is
scaled to the size of the participating business.
Limited remaining space is available on a first come, first served basis.
We welcome the participation of any companies that are seeking qualified professionals to join their organizations in either contract or permanent hire positions. We encourage participants to not only recruit for technical positions, but also to recruit for sales, marketing, finance & operations management professionals who understand business in the technology world. We define technology broadly - it is IT, software development and telecom, but also engineering, life sciences, optics, alternative energy and more.
To reserve your space or to find out more about the high visibility opportunity to sponsor this event, send us an

Here's what past exhibitors had to say:
RTE has literally been calling and asking when the next Technology Job Fair will take place. There is no other single source where we have been able to meet as many qualified candidates for the hard-to-fill technical and project leadership positions that are so critical to RTE's success. Whether you're a technology company looking for a marketing director who knows the software world or a services company looking for IT support staff, you're going to find top talent at this event.
We participated in the last Technology Job Fair, looking for manufacturing engineers and supervisors as well as sales & marketing staff. Despite the expectations set by the organizers, I did not think that we would find many professional candidates. In fact, virtually every person I spoke with was an experienced professional with relevant work experience. This event turned out to be excellent exposure for a smaller manufacturing company like Semrock. I would highly recommend this Job Fair for other companies, even for those that do not have urgent openings.
We've participated in many job fairs and none make it as easy for the recruiters as the DR/HTBC team does. There are timely, informative advance communications, maps of the table location with signage once you arrive and all of the resources we need for the event. Last time we even found a box waiting for us with bottled water and snacks to carry us through the event!
The candidates were extremely relevant to our targeted search and we were pleased with the caliber of resumes and candidates. Candidates were well prepared; they knew in advance which employers would be there and what positions were available so that they could be effective and efficient. It was very pleasant to have both employer and candidate expectations exceeded.
BizNetix took part in the last Technology Job Fair, and Digital Rochester sent out an email blast about the event at 5:45 pm on the day that we signed up to participate. Within the first hour, we experienced a spike in traffic to our web site - more than 400 visitors above normal - that can only be attributed to the DR promotion. We're internet marketing specialists; we understand visitor patterns and were very pleased with this result. The event itself drew excellent candidates. We found it well worth our while!
*FACILITY:
We thank the Girl Scouts of Genesee Valley for leasing us their Program Center for this event. Situated on 25 scenic acres, the building includes a gymnasium, a striking atrium and multipurpose rooms that will nicely accommodate our needs for the Job Fair. This outstanding facility is only five minutes from Marketplace Mall and is adjacent to the RIT campus. Map
