Default OBAP Job Fair

I have one day free to attend the OBAP job fair July 31-Aug 2.
Is it going to be worth my time and money to attend for that one day or is this an event that I should be at for the three days.

I've been throwing around the idea about going down to MIA for the day, basically fly in, rub some elbows and drop off resume and fly back home. It is expensive for sure.

I have been to many many many Job fairs , and yes, the Obap had always been the best one, very little attendance which gives you great time to talk to HR folks ..

Well worth the time, it's how I got in with my last two employers

So, the event is July 31 - Aug 2. The only days I could go would be Aug 1 or 2. Is the career fair all three days?

With admissions cost, plus cab to/from airport to resort, that will run around $200! Yikes!

Besides resumes in a leather portfolio, do you bring anything else to these job fairs?
