    Well it does say in the ad.
    But we won't know cos the online registration tool isn't working past the " where did you hear about us" option: so looks like it'll be another big PR disaster for them like the last one .

    I was able to register for it and get ticket printed out earlier today.

    It does worry me a bit that they havn't got a list of exhibitors up yet. Surely they know that at this stage.

    What happened the last time?

    I'm a recruiter but not exhibiting as i'm unsure of who will be there, however I will be attending and believe there will be a good few Irish based companies there as well as obviously Canadian & Australian companies.

    Sure it's free so what's the harm in turning up and finding out.

    I specialise in Sales roles with larger companies like Twitter, Google, Eircom, BT etc and i'll be leaving my cards on the tables in the hope that people just pick them up if I don't speak to them.

    Look for business cards with Berkley on if you are interested in sales opportunities, or we also specialise in IT, Engineering and Pharma & Life Sciences.

    I am thinking about going. Do I need to bring CV'S and cover letters?

    Was there today. 85% of the stands were for Canadian recruitment, mainly construction. Wasn't for me exactly but maybe a bit more Irish recruitment could have helped. Other than that,it should have been advertised as an overseas job expo. Glad I didn't have to pay in

    There was basically nothing re Irish jobs except for Intel that I could see. If you were looking for a job at home it would be a complete waste of time. If you were interested in going to Canada or were thinking about it, then it was worth your while. I expected queues outside but there was not many people there on Sat afternoon to be honest. Canada is doing well for itself and I'll send off my CV.
