Description
Super Charge your Digital Entertainment Career
Presented by the Vancouver Economic Commission (VEC) this is North America’s largest professional recruiting event for the digital entertainment and interactive industry. The event features employers from the visual effects (VFX), animation, games development, virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) and film & TV sectors. The Vancouver Digital Entertainment Career Fair is your opportunity to get in front of the hiring managers from Vancouver's top studios.

- Meet face-to-face with 35 of Vancouver’s top studios and companies
- Learn how Vancouver’s leading education and training providers can help you take your career to the next level

Why separate students and professionals?
In an interview setting, hiring managers will approach their line of questioning very differently if the individual has previous industry experience. Please respect the challenge they have in ensuring both the job seeker and their studio are the right fit for one another, and in doing so in a small window of time. Attending during your designated period will set your conversation up for success.

Keep These Tips in Mind
Leave your paper resumes at home. Instead, bring your reels, demos or electronic portfolios pre-loaded on a device or on a thumb drive. Note that there is no free WiFi on site.
Do your research about the employers you wish to speak to. Some may be in demand and you will encounter lineups, so be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes. You may also want to bring a friend or buddy, pack non-messy snacks and a water bottle.
