[Important] Details Information about Startups2Students Fest on Monday 3rd

[Danny Tran]

Greetings, 

Thank you for participating at our Startups2Students Fest! We are glad to have you joining us! 

I would like to share more details information about the event below: 

1) We have changed the venue. It is no longer at UMC Ballroom. It will be hosted at Spark on 1310 College Avenue, Boulder, CO, 80302. We included the map to available parking lot in this email. 

2) You do NOT need to bring tables. We will have a table with a specific spot for you at the venue.

3) Please bring swags (T-Shirts, toys, pens, etc..) along with everything else you think they are necessary. 

4) We are creating a very casual and relaxing environment. NO dress code and a resume are NOT allowed. Please bring laptop or anything that you think necessary to showcase your product, talk about your culture, team and working environment. We encourage you engage a constructive conversation with students and learn more about them. Please don’t ask for the resume just yet until after the event.

5) We are using GuideBook to help students navigate and find a right information about your company. Would you mind send me a link to your company website, social media, the logo and a brief information about your company (maximum 250 words) please? We will include those information on our GuideBook package.      

6) We are going to film and create a summary video about the event. If you are our sponsor, our camera man will conduct an interview with you and include your best parts in our video.

7) Our great friends at Groundwork will run a mini-workshop on improving the entire hiring process by helping companies get more hands-on in their interviewing. The 1-hour mini-workshop will start at 7pm in the big conference room at Spark. You will have a chance to work with thema and their selected pool of students. If you are interested on participating, please let us know by Friday, February 28th at 3PM. Below is more information about the workshop.

"Groundwork's goal is improve the entire hiring process by helping companies get more hands-on in their interviewing. We contract with individual companies, and then put on interactive workshops that reveal very specific traits about the job seekers they bring to the table. These are things that are typically very difficult to learn in a standard interview: Who works well in a team? Who holds up under pressure? Who analyzes problems particularly well? Or who holds up in front of an audience? Our workshops are fast-paced, creative and fun for all participants involved.

We can also provide a lot of value by shaking up the traditional career fair format. Rather than the resume hand-over and a handshake, we use our exercises to have job seekers and employers hack through problems together as a better way to learn about each other. In the end, we're hoping to save everyone time in the process AND get a better fit for all parties. Learn more at www.groundwork.jobs

At Startup2Students, we'll be demonstrating the Groundwork process from 7-8pm. Come join us for a fast-paced mini-workshop that will allow you to interact with job seekers as they SHOW you what they can do!"
