This event will help teams be better prepared for Formula & Baja competitions with mock tech inspections and presentations. They will also meet industry professionals who can potentially hire graduates and/or support student programs. It will also be an opportunity to check out the amazing SEMA Garage!
 
Why should professionals attend?
It’s quite simply the best local opportunity to meet a wide variety of graduating seniors as well as industry professionals. How else could you meet 100+ students from over a dozen universities in a single day? We feel this will be the most time efficient recruiting opportunity of 2024. Many internships and job offers were extended at the 2023 event in Diamond Bar.
