Where is the MIT Media Lab?

• The Media Lab, also known as building E14 on MIT campus, is located at 75 Amherst Street, Cambridge, MA! It is located just to the east of East Campus.

Should I bring my resume?

• Sure! Remember though that companies will have access to all resumes dropped through drop.xfair.io, so a physical resume is not strictly necessary. Some companies do prefer to collect physical resumes, so feel free to bring a few just in case!

How can I find "X" company?

• See the interactive map on the front page of this site! We will also distribute booklets and physical maps at the fair.

Will there be snacks, food, and drinks?

• Yes! There will be a variety of snacks and drinks for all attendees. We have a "resume-free zone" designed for taking a break from the bustle of the career fair. There is also a lot of cool swag, including totes, plushies, and stickers :0

• The fair starts at 10AM and ends at 5PM. You are free to arrive and leave at any time during the fair; just make your way to the check-in booth on the first floor of the Media Lab.

What is ProjX and how are they involved with the fair?

• MIT ProjX provides funding for MIT students to bring their dream projects to life, and we provide a venue for them to demo their projects during the fair! Projects this year include Arcturus, Robo-Hydrofoil, and Magnets Carlson.

What is the dress code?

• Business casual. We hope for xFair to be more about interactive demonstrations and genuine engagement than formalities!
