With just under a week to go until the opening of the Santa Fe Chamber of Commerce Business Expo and Job Fair, anticipation is swelling around town. This event is a prime opportunity for businesses, employers and job seekers to connect. We're glad you're participating in this exciting event and look forward to having a great time. Simultaneously, you might have questions about how an online business expo and job fair works.

That's why we've put together this simple tutorial to tell you what to expect.

This primer is for companies and organizations who've signed up to host a booth in the virtual expo hall. In the coming days, we'll post additional tutorials for attendees. In your booth, participants in the job fair will be able to connect with companies, nonprofits and other exhibitors taking part in the event.
<h2>First, don't worry about setting up your booth</h2>
<a href="katie@santafechamber.com">Event manager Katie Capener</a> from the Santa Fe Chamber of Commerce is handling the setup of your booth and she'll be the point person for inquiries about tickets for organizations that have booths. She has an easy to understand instruction set she can email to those who have purchased booth space as part of the expo. If you've not received her instruction set that outlines exactly what she needs to set up your booth, <a href="katie@santafechamber.com">just email her.</a>
<h3>About tickets</h3>
Be on the lookout for emails from the chamber of commerce or from our platform provider HOPIN for information on your tickets. These will be sent to the email address the chamber has on file.
