Overview For Students
Attire is CASUAL! Every company in attendance is hiring and has a job posted on CCNet. Each company is also participating in one of several after hours events upon conclusion of the fair. You can view this information in advance on CCNet to best prepare and plan your strategy.
The fair and after hours events take place over the dinner hour, therefore, food is being provided to students attending the fair. Be prepared at the entrances to Duffield to 'swipe' in using your Cornell Student ID and receive a name tag (which is also your 'ticket' to dinner).

How was the Startup Fair experience for recruiters?
"With our fearless companion Pixel by our side, the Moat recruiting team waded through endless foot traffic and high-level discussions with quality coders at the Cornell Startup Fair. When the dust settled, our resume stack looked more like a book!" Elliot Kulakow, Data Scientist, MOAT
"The Startup Fair was a tremendous opportunity for us to validate what we're doing as a very new company. Seeing our ideas resonate with young people and get them excited helped confirm we're on the right track." Foster Sayers, CEO, AgileQR, Inc.
"The Cornell Startup Career Fair was a great way to connect with very high quality candidates who are super passionate about startups in NYC. These are people who would have gone to the valley only a few years ago, now they are all coming to New York. I'll continue recruiting [at Cornell] as was super impressed with the quality of the team organizing the event." Dan Storms, Head of Engineering, Red Rover
