We now know quite a bit more about how we're going to structure the job fair at YAPC::NA 2012.

It's going to be held on June 14th, 2012 in the AT&T Lounge in the Pyle Center on the University of Wisconsin Madison Campus. It will run from Noon until 4:30pm. This will allow attendees to stop in both during their lunch breaks and during afternoon sessions, whichever is most convenient for them.

We're going to allow outsiders (people who have not purchased a ticket to YAPC itself) to come to the job fair. And we're going to promote it far and wide in the Madison area, to ensure a good turn out. Our reach will include every high school, technical school, college, the University, and every technology-related user group within 50 miles of Madison.

Companies wishing to exhibit at the job fair can do so by either becoming a Silver Level (or higher) Sponsor, or they can just contact us to buy a table for $200. 

Companies that participate in the job fair will also get to post their Perl related jobs to our blog and can print flyers for us to insert into our attendee registration packet.
