Fast Chats, Big Impact: Join Our Speed Networking Session

The Speed Networking Event at the Student Broadcast and Sports Seminar offers employers, colleges and universities a unique platform to connect with Kansas’ brightest future broadcasters.

Each participating organization will host a table, while students rotate between tables in timed five-minute increments. This dynamic and fast-paced format allows industry professionals to share information about their stations, organizations or educational institutions, discuss internship and job opportunities and meet promising students eager to launch their broadcasting careers. It’s the perfect opportunity to inspire, recruit and build meaningful connections!

For Stations: One of the menu option initiatives under the FCC’s Outreach Prong 3 is “participation in at least four job fairs or career fairs by personnel who have substantial responsibility in the making of hiring decisions.” Full SEU participation in each job/career fair should earn the SEU a 1/4 credit. Of course, on any legal issue, we suggest you confirm the credit you will receive with your station’s attorney.
