When - Thursday, January 15th. The Alan Jay Arena will open at 7:00am to allow participating businesses to set-up. Students will be attending in waves of approximately 300-350 per hour starting at 8:45 am and ending at 1:00 pm. We will be providing lunch for presenters.
Where – Alan Jay Arena (across from Sebring High School) - 781 Magnolia Avenue, Sebring, FL 33870. Please park on the Water Tower side of the arena. Access to that lot is easiest from McClain Lane to Magnolia Avenue.
Tables & Chairs – One 8-foot table and 2 chairs will be provided and set-up when you arrive. If you require any further chairs please let me know and we will make sure to accommodate your request. Table skirts will not be provided, but feel free to bring your own.
Electrical Outlet – There will be access to electrical outlets inside, but please make sure to bring an extension cord as there is a small distance from the table to each outlet. There will not be electrical outlets outside.
Internet Access – There will not be internet access. If you wish to have internet access, please consider bringing a personal hotspot. However, cell service inside the building is also a challenge.
Student Engagement Rewards – Gift card prizes will be awarded at each school to students who collect twenty (20) signatures from participating businesses. We kindly ask that you initial or stamp the sheet of any student who comes to your table and engages with your organization. This process is designed to encourage students to interact with our local business community, helping them learn, build confidence, and better understand the opportunities around them.
Student Resource Guide - In partnership with the School Board of Highlands County, every student attending the event will receive a copy of a resource directory containing information about the businesses and organizations participating in the event for future reference. The last page of this online form is for you to enter the information about your business for that directory.
