Preferential placement based on level and date paid. The job fair runs the entire length of the conference and is frequented by attendees throughout the day, though the busiest times are approximately every hour when we break as well as for an extended lunch. Arrive as early as an hour before registration opens to setup. We'll provide a 6ft table and two chairs. Bring any banners, displays, and monitors to place behind your table. All materials must fit securely behind your table to allow for unimpeded travel throughout the job fair area. All audio (including within videos) should be approved by AlterConf and be accompanied by appropriating captioning. The use of flashing imagery, scented products, or other disruptive devices or products is prohibited.

Preferential placement based on level and date paid. Your logo will be presented in the pre-roll of all videos published from the conference, which are available for free on our YouTube channel.

We want to help you optimize for swag that will be useful, low waste, and cause the recipients to think fondly about who gave it to them. When in doubt, opt for small items of high quality that won't be immediately thrown away. Branding that is simple and understated is preferred by our attendees. Swag popular with our attendees in the past has included:

• popsockets
• public transit card holder
• webcam covers
• gender pronoun pins (she/her, he/him, they/them, ask me!)
• good quality reusable water bottles or coffee cups
• fidget toys (spinners, cubes, roller chains, tops)
• tiny first aid kits
• Chibitronics paper circuit kits
• temporary tattoos
• branded tissue packs, hand sanitizer, chapstick, lotion
• weather-appropriate items like mini-umbrellas, touch-screen gloves, and mini-sunscreen
• snack packs or other food items (being careful to avoid major allergens OR having a range of options with clearly stated allergens)
• good quality notebooks (we recommend Field Notes!) and nice pens
• screen cleaning cloths
• cable clips

Swag should not include:

• any material that violates the AlterConf Code of Conduct
• gendered items or other items that make assumptions about the identity of the recipient
• offensive or sexualized imagery
• any items that can be questionably construed as potential digital security issues like usb drives
• large or heavy items
• items that would be difficult to take through an airport or through border security
• tshirts and other apparel (sizing and styling for a wide range of body shapes and sizes is difficult to get right)
