- Complete the registration form with as much detail as possible. Key fields include:
- Event Name: Attract your target audience with event names that are clear, clever, or creative!
- Target Audience: A free-write field for you to target students by degree, graduation year, experience, desires, etc.
- Event Description: Market your event and speakers, and set expectations, through a detailed description
- Event Setup: Let us know if you are planning a recruiting engagement (classroom setting), recruiting engagement with catering (classroom setting + catering table), or a recruiting engagement with networking reception (share more details in Notes for CDO on ideal setup). While exact rooms will be reserved in August, having this information early helps us with planning for your needs
- Submit three date choices for any request made during the Priority Planning Period. This allows us to navigate potential calendar conflicts while helping you meet your needs and strategy.
- Share important messages in Notes for CDO that will help us calendar your events, such as: national application deadline, final date for a national virtual session, other planned events, event setup preferences, etc.
