There may be some lag time between submitting your registration form and receiving the confirmation email.   Your registration is not complete without receipt of payment.

Registration Details to Know

All recruiters registering for the 2023 Showcase must create a new account because we have a new registration system. Georgia Tech recruiters cannot use their Tech credentials to access the registration system because it is separate from the single sign-on system (SSO). 

  • Only one registration per program is required per session. If separate program listings and meeting links are desired, you must register separately. For example, if you represent an Economics program and a colleague represents a separate International Affairs program, you each need to register. However, if you represent a combined program called Economics & International Affairs and want to bring a colleague, you only need one registration.
  • If you represent an entire office such as “Graduate Education” or “College of Engineering,” you only need one registration and can have multiple recruiters from different programs in the same session. If you want each program to have their own session with their own meeting links, you will need to have each recruiter from each program register.
  • All program recruiters can use their virtual platform of choice.
  • Please take into consideration the participant capacity of your virtual meeting spaces. We will provide information at a later date about effective practices for setting up virtual meetings.
  • All events must be live/in real time. A recruiter is expected to be present for the event time(s) you register for.

Lists of Prospective Students

By finalizing recruiter registration before prospective student registration begins, we will be able to send all registered recruiters multiple updates about prospective students who have registered. This will enable your program to market directly to those who have registered. Prospective student registration will be September 27 – October 18, 2023. You can also invite any current prospective students you may have to the Showcase as well. 


Marketing Assets 

We will send you marketing assets for you to promote your participation in the Showcase and to invite your university’s own undergraduates to attend as well as for your program website. You may also use the assets to encourage prospective students from your own databases to attend.  

Event Ambassadors 

During your session(s), a Showcase Ambassador may pop in to say hello to see if you need any assistance. Our goal is to have an ambassador check in with every recruiter at the event.
