Frequently Asked Questions

General

Will I be invoiced from GT for the event?

No. There is not a formal invoice, but once payment is made, your company will receive an e-receipt and the institute will be notified of payment. If you do not make an expected, due payment, your company may be assumed as "not coming" and another company may take your intended booth space.

How do I know my reservation is confirmed?

Your company point of contact who received registration links for the event should have received a confirmation email from either the SCL events team (On Campus session) and/or CareerBuzz/Symplicity (Virtual/Online session) AFTER payment has been made; depending on which event was registered for. If you are still not sure of confirmation or if payment was made, please reach out to the events team and we can confirm for you.

On Campus/Onsite Session

Where can I find event logistics information for the On Campus so I can prepare ahead of time? 

Please review our On Campus/In-Person Supply Chain Day Informational Flyer regarding event information, logistics, what to expect, and more! A link to this same document is also provided in the confirmation emails upon successful registration.

What is included with a table/booth?

(1) 6 foot table* (~8’ wide by 5’ deep floor area)
(2) chairs
Printed (sticky-back) name tags per registered recruiter
Refreshments & Food
All other materials are to be brought/shipped from your company to the campus event location on or before the day of the event. Due to space requirements, we cannot accommodate large booths or displays.

Is it possible to reserve more than one table? 

Unfortunately, no. With the high interest of other companies, Georgia Tech must keep a fair outlook on others who may want to join. If your company is interested in bringing in additional recruiters from different departments, we encourage you to contact the SCL Institute for private recruiting events and/or ask us about our Supply Chain Innovation Network for year round recruiting options and many other benefits!

Will there be signage with our company name?

On the morning of the event, the SCL events team will place an 8.5x11" folded table tent with company name/logo on your assigned table (so recruiting teams can identify their assigned location). Additionally, there will be maps and charts posted around the building during the event, so students will know where to find your company table.
 

How will I know where our company booth is located?

SCL events team will provide instructions upon arrival on where your table is located. Maps will be placed around the building for reference points. The event space is small enough that you will not have issue locating your booth. 

Where do I park?

Directions/Parking: Visitor Information and On Campus/In-Person Supply Chain Day Informational Flyer

The closest visitor parking to the ISyE Complex is Visitor 3 Public Parking (W02 Student Center Parking Deck), which is close to the intersection of Ferst Drive and Regents Drive. Please note that if Visitor Area 3 Public Parking is full, we suggest trying Visitor 2 Public Parking (Student Center), then Visitor Area 4 (State Street & Ferst Drive), then Area 8 (Tech Square & GT Hotel and Conference Center - involves riding the Tech Trolley to the Campus Recreation Center (CRC) stop…ISyE is located across the street from the CRC). If your visit will be brief, you have the option of finding a metered space in the immediate vicinity.

Is parking free or are there charges?

Unfortunately, there is not a free parking option. There are 5 metered spots on Ferst Drive across from Campus Recreation Center – 2 hour limit, 15 minutes = .25, 6 minutes = .10, 3 minutes = .05 -- bring change). Please note that select lots require that you prepay for parking before leaving the lot, so please note any signage when entering a parking area. Other lots let you pay by credit card upon leaving. Parking fees are typically $1.50-$2 per hour.

undergraduate students, 35% masters in supply chain engineering students, 20% other masters students, 5% Ph.D. students). For those of you
not familiar with ISyE, please refer to our Fact Sheet: SUPPLY CHAIN DAY FACTS  and ISyE/SCE Overview: HISTORICAL STUDENT DATA.
