McGill Techfair

The TechFair is coming on Wednesday, September 28th and Thursday the 29th.  There will be at least 52 companies this year spread throughout the engineering buildings.  Pre-registration for the TechFair will be on September 26th and 27th.  Booths will be in the Trottier, McConnell, FDA and Wong lobbies to allow students to register and receive a name tag.  Companies have urged that they would prefer if students have the name tag to identify themselves, so don’t forget to pre-register.
The TechFair is still looking for volunteers for the event.  Volunteers will get a free t-shirt and invitations to the wine and cheese with the representatives from the companies.
