• “After Hours” networking reception with startups and students 

Here are a few need-to-knows for the #SPNcrawl: 

What to expect:

• When you arrive you’ll receive a name badge and rotation group. You'll meet with your group tour guide after the opening session and with your group, you’ll make three different stops and visit all companies. 
• Your tour guide will give a brief description of each company and then you’ll break off individually to chat at each stop.
• The tour guides will keep time and you will move with your group to the next stop.
• After the three stops, we’ll end with After Hours to grab a bite to eat and catch up with companies you met along the way. 

What to bring:

• Résumé - Come prepared with 15-20 resumes ready to hand out 
• Business cards - If you have them, great! If not, some companies may find it helpful if you pass out makeshift ones with your basic contact info. 
• Your appetite - After the crawl, there will be free food…and Red Bull 

How to prepare:

Take a look at these posts on Silicon Prairie News:

• “Turn your socializing into networking” http://spne.ws/BQ1 
• "Not a techie? Not a problem. Finding the ‘write’ fit at the Startup Job Crawl” http://spne.ws/BPX 

What to wear:

• A cross between Connecticut casual and Pennsylvania business. 
• No need for three piece suits and ties but do look presentable. 
• From a tshirt and jeans to a blazer and khakis, anything in that range is appropriate. 

Where to park:

• Parking is available in the Northwest corner of the building. You will enter in the second doorway.
• P.S. The building is tucked away but if you pass through the gates, you’ll be golden. 
• Note: There are limited coat racks in the building. If you can park close and can bare a brisk walk across the parking lot, it may be a good idea to leave the coat in the car for a hands-free night of networking.
