    Went to it last year. The lines are long and you have a lot to cover. Realistically do not expect much and I would target the people you are interested in.

    Obviously the line for the Spurs booth is the longest. I would hit the other ones first and then worry about the Spurs last, because most of the jobs they talk about are ticket sales and such and those are posted on line.

    I ended up getting a job offer from the Toros through this, but he said that was very rare and only a very small percentage get interviews.

    It is more for information and FAQ's. It is good to collect business cards and make contacts to use in the future.
