All job seekers must register in advance to attend the fair.

Please bring your student or alumni ID card from your school. Admission is free for students/alumni from a degree/diploma program at McMaster University, Redeemer University and Mohawk College.

Members of the public are welcome at the fair from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and are not required to bring a piece of ID.

Please note that due to City of Hamilton construction, the Hamilton Convention Centre’s Summers Lane entrance and the main entrance doors will be closed. The building will only be accessible via the underground parking garage entrance on King Street, located directly across from the Sheraton Hotel. Street-level access to the venue will be through the grey service doors, located approximately 30 to 40 feet from the main entrance doors.

With respect to guest drop-off, taxis and rideshare vehicles may use the designated loading zone on Main Street, just before the bus terminal at MacNab. Please note that Summers Lane is not accessible from this side. To avoid entering the underground parking garage, the best alternative drop-off option would be along King Street metered parking just before the Art Gallery and the garage entrance. Unfortunately, options are limited due to the City construction, but this remains the most practical solution at this time.
