Employers tend to be Nassau and Suffolk firms plus regional staffing agencies.
Roles you will actually see
Who should go
Developers and IT professionals on Long Island who want local roles without commuting into Manhattan.
Long Island tech hiring is defense, healthcare IT and mid-size firms, so expect more citizenship-required roles than in the city and fewer sponsors. That said, it is free and fast, so run it as a screening day. Sort employers by whether they are direct hirers or agencies and prioritize direct. Have your Long Island commute story ready; local employers care.
Show up prepared
- 1Register and complete your profile with location set to Long Island
- 2Pre-request interviews with direct employers, not staffing firms
- 3Have a copy of your resume open to paste into chat during interviews
Sponsorship reality
Sponsorship varies by employer. No organizer publishes sponsorship. Check each employer you plan to meet against H-1B disclosure data before you go, and ask in the first two minutes so neither side wastes the conversation.
Showing up is half of it.
The other half is being first to the roles these employers post, and having something real to show when you get there.
See roles the minute they go live, tailor one resume per employer, and reach the hiring manager directly. Walk into the event as a follow-up, not a stranger.
