Job fairs may make some people feel like a needle in a haystack, but some are so targeted that they may be worth your while. Even if you're not looking for a job at the moment, it's sometimes fruitful just to mill about and see what's out there. (You may, however, want to don a wig or fake beard in case you run into your current employer.)
Here are some tech-concentrated job fairs that are coming up:
