Things to remember… We conduct reconfirmations each week to ensure all RSVP’s are utilized by individuals who are committed to attend.

You are encouraged to give us a quick email or phone call once a week so we can reconfirm you in our system.

We will be providing copies of your resume to the company hiring representatives. You are not required to bring anything with you to conference, but if you would like to bring any additional documentation (DD214, references, etc.) you are free to do so. If you are traveling to conference, please provide any information regarding departure times or scheduling conflicts to Brandy Caswell so that we may be sure that we are maximizing your conference experience and making the best use of your time. If at some point another employment opportunity arises or if you decide, for whatever reason, that you would like to surrender your spot at the upcoming conference, please inform us.
