- The most important issue to take care of as soon as possible: get your rooms reserved. Reserve extra rooms; it is easier to un-reserve rooms that you don't need than to reserve rooms late.
- If you want to get companies to participate in a career fair the official way, i.e., through their HR departments, you have to contact them early in the spring. However, I recommend that you utilize your university career services, the SEDS alumni email list, the ISU alumni email list, and the American Astronautical Society. Forget the "official" way.
- See 2005 SEDS-USA Conference Organizers for our organization page. You can probably take a lot of info from 2005 SEDS-USA Conference Participants and update it.
- Focus your recruitment efforts on SEDS chapters and universities within driving distance; this will be your biggest participating demographic. Hit the phones.
- Second: focus on major universities with engineering/science programs, and include a "start a SEDS chapter" package.
- Third: Find email lists and web sites that will put up your ads for free.

Traditions
- Use an @seds.org email list for your organizing team and for announcements -- this will save records for future organizers.
Things we wish we did...
- Use the board of advisers to get you things.
