From noon to 3:15 p.m., guest speakers will include area employers with openings. They will answer (live) questions in chat. When their allotted presentation and question and answer session is over, they will answer additional questions from participants. When they are in chat, they respond directly to the person who asked the question. The expo end time may be extended to accommodate additional employers.
