Visit Gainesville provides several options for lodging.

Three options close to campus are the Reitz Union Hotel, Hilton UF Conference Center Hotel, and the Holiday Inn Gainesville - University.

A reception with faculty will be held from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm the night before the CALS Career Expo. Additional details about this event will be provided via email after registration.

Instructions on how to get to the Reitz Union may be found here.

Each company or organization will receive one parking pass as part of its registration. Spaces will be reserved in the Welcome Center Parking Garage of the Reitz Union until 10:00 a.m. After that time, your reservation cannot be guaranteed and may be given up to other persons. The reserved parking pass is only valid on the day of the event. If you have questions about where to park in the garage, please ask an attendant to ensure you are in the proper space.

Companies or organizations had the option of purchasing additional parking spaces at registration. A parking code to be used at the kiosk will be emailed to registered employers approximately one week prior to the event.

The college is not responsible for any parking violations that you receive while on the UF campus; it is your responsibility to verify valid parking areas with posted signs or an appropriate police or parking official.

Check in and setup will occur from 8:45 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.

From the Welcome Center Parking Garage, employers will enter the J. Wayne Reitz Union on the first level. Check in will be just outside the Grand Ballroom on the second level. CALS Ambassadors will be available during this time to assist employers with transporting supplies from the parking garage to the Grand Ballroom. Coffee and water will be available.

General display guidelines:

• Tables are 6' x 30"
• Total floor space available per table is ~8'-9' wide and 6' deep
• Do not bring huge displays, furniture, tents, equipment, or huge amounts of giveaway items. Your display needs to fit within the space provided by the table(s) you request for the event.
• Helium filled balloons and other floating items are very difficult to clean up due to the high ceilings. Please do not bring any helium filled items.
• Please do not rearrange your table(s), occupy an adjacent table or move to another location without staff approval.

If requested during registration, CALS will provide you with a username and password for accessing the UF wireless network. All computers attempting to connect to the UF wireless network must meet the minimum security requirements established by the university. Learn more at http://getonline.ufl.edu/.

A lunch voucher will be provided to each registered representative, allowing employers to choose from options in the J. Wayne Reitz Union.

We will offer door prizes to students who participate in the CALS Career Expo. Please consider bringing a company item to donate for the student drawing.
