College Career Fair/Trade Show

 

2023 Texas 4-H Roundup is set for June 5-8, 2023 in Bryan/College Station, TX.  We are excited to be bringing back together colleges, universities, industry partners, and other organizations in one room to showcase the vast opportunities available for our Texas 4-H youth, their families, and our AgriLife Extension Employees. This year’s event will be held in Reed Arena at Texas A&M University which will serve as our hub for the week.

COLLEGE CAREER FAIR

We are inviting our college/university specific vendors to be a part of our College Career Fair that will be taking place on Monday, June 5th. At this event, youth and parents will have the opportunity to visit each college/university/tech school, ask questions, learn more about the campus and it’s programs, as well as much more.  The attached flyer covers in more detail what the week will look like and the potential outreach you could have at the event.

TRADE SHOW

Our Trade Show is scheduled for Tuesday – Thursday (may modify to Tuesday – Wednesday based on feedback from vendors) and will be set up along the concourse area of Reed Arena this year.  We hope by moving this event back to Reed Arena it will provide more foot traffic for our vendors. The setup would be on Tuesday morning starting at 8 am – with the close of the Trade show on Thursday around 3:00. We are still working to determine the best option for you as vendors for the time of the Show therefore it could run Tuesday – Wednesday only based on vendor feedback. The cost will not change based on the number of days for the event.

Texas 4-H Workshops are tentatively scheduled from 8 am – 3 pm each day to be held in Reed Arena on the 2nd and 3rd floors. We will have targeted breaks as well as the lunch hour for our youth and adults participating in workshops to visit your booth there at Reed as well as in between sessions.
