- How do I create my virtual fair schedule?
Fair registrants will need to create their company's group and 1:1 sessions, other team members will need to claim their schedules, and there will be on-going schedule management needed as team members are unable to attend, new team members are added, etc. Here are some resources that will help you support employers through that:
