Good to know
If you are a student studying at the Faculty of Science and Engineering, you will have nothing on your schedule during the fair day, so you will not miss out on any of your studies. As a host at LARM, you are also guaranteed free time to see the fair.

Description of the Different Roles
As a tech host, you will help with technical issues and manage a makeshift electrical network.
On the day before the fair, your main responsibility will be to rig the electrical network according to the schematic provided. The tech hosts might be asked to install physical IP network equipment, which might involve the use of scaffolding and working on heights exceeding 3m.
During the fair, you will be in charge of three major tasks. To begin, staffing the tech desk and acting as the first point of contact for exhibitors experiencing basic technical difficulties. Second, you will be responsible for patrolling the fair and looking for safety or technological issues. Third, as needed, you will act as a resource for other teams.
Following the fair, you will be largely responsible for collecting and storing all electrical and network-related equipment. This may entail some basic maintenance, such as cleaning some cables. If and when the equipment is disposed of, the tech team will assist the other teams in demolition.
As a Photographer/Film host your main task is to capture the fair and associated events for social media coverage. During the fair you will be walking around snapping photos, filming short videos and crewing the CV-Photobooth. The goal is to have as much of a rotating scheme as possible. There will also be time for you to take a break, relax and network on your own. After the fair you will have some time to go through your photos and videos, pick the best, edit them and send them over.
As a Night Guard, you’ll watch over the exhibition area while the showcases are being set up before LARM2027. You’ll guard in pairs through the night, and your presence helps deter unauthorized people. Once an hour you’ll patrol the whole exhibition area and check that showcases and goods are intact and in place. On the fair day you’re off duty, with time for breakfast and lunch. After the fair, you’ll join everyone else working at LARM2027 in the demolition.
As a Lounge Host, you will play a vital role in ensuring the success of the event by helping set up, manage, and dismantle the lounges. During the fair, you will assist in creating a welcoming and seamless experience for exhibitors and students alike. Your tasks will include ensuring that the lounges are well-stocked with snacks and drinks, greeting exhibitors, and helping students enjoy the free merchandise in the serving lounge. Additionally, you will help maintain smooth operations in the wardrobes, ensuring proper handling of coats and bags.
You will also be responsible for the coffee machines, ensuring that coffee is always ready and available in both the exhibitor lounges as well as the student lounges. The demand for coffee will be high and new batches will have to be prepared by you continuously.
Overall, it will be your responsibility to keep an eye on the products being handed out, making sure everything runs smoothly. Make sure to greet lounge visitors and make them feel welcome. You will also be responsible to help the high school students that are going to work as stylists during the fair if they have any questions or are in need of help. After the fair closes you will help the LARM-team deconstruct everything and restore the premises back to their original state.
As a Kick-off Host, you will be part of making the LARM2027 Host Kickoff on January 16th a memorable evening. Your main responsibility will be to work as serving staff during the kickoff, ensuring that the evening runs smoothly. Your tasks will include preparing the venue, setting the tables, serving food and drinks, and clearing tables throughout the evening. You will also help with cleaning up after kickoff.
As thank you for your efforts, dinner during the evening and tickets to the afterparty are included. You will also get the choice of helping us construct & deconstruct the fair or simply preparing yourself for the banquet. This is a great opportunity to get involved in LARM before the fair day!
As a logistics host, you’ll help keep the fair running smoothly behind the scenes. You’ll receive and unload goods, move showcases between storage and the fair, keep the parking area in order, hand out the right goods to each company, and staff the information desk in Collo, where exhibitors can book a ride with our drivers or ask logistics questions. After the fair, you’ll help move goods and showcases that are leaving back to storage.
Showcases arrive in the days before the fair, so it would be appreciated if you are available for a couple of hours on those days to help the logistics coordinator receive and unload them. The same applies to the day after the fair.
As a fair host, you will be involved in tasks before, during, and after the fair. Before the fair, your responsibilities will include assembling and placing decor, setting up and positioning signs across the fair area, organizing rented inventory, and assisting other teams if time allows. During the fair, your responsibilities will shift towards inventory management, ensuring rented items and decorations are handed out to companies as needed, as well as assisting with minor waste management tasks.
After the fair, you will be responsible for ensuring all rented inventory is returned, recorded, and organized properly. You will also help take down decorations and signage after the fair closes at 4 pm. If time allows the fair team will assist the other teams in demolition.
You will be working in a team with other fair hosts, and there will be a coordinator available for questions and support before, during, and after the fair. The workload will be evenly distributed among the hosts. You will also have dedicated time to explore and attend the fair yourself.
As an information host, you will be the public face of LARM2027. You will work at the information desk and greet students at the fair. You will be working with your coordinator, as well as other hosts. Your tasks include answering questions from both exhibitors and students, taking care of additional orders, and helping with the check-in of exhibitors.
You will be working on a team with seven information hosts as well as a coordinator. Together, you will rotate between the information desk in Företagshörnan, Kårallen and the information desk in Colosseum, C-house.
On the day before the fair, you will aid in the building of the fair and when the fair ends you will aid in the closing and deconstruction of the fair.
As an event host you'll be involved in assisting with all the fantastic events and assisting with individual meetings during LARM2027.
The events will mainly take place during a period before the fair day, known as pre-LARM, between 1-15 of Februari. During this time your schedule will need to be flexible and a lot of events will be placed during lunch hours.
On the fair day, you will also assist in organizing individual meetings. Your role will involve managing the individual meeting desk in Building A, where you'll help company representatives and students find the right rooms for their contact sessions.
Your main task as an exhibitor host will be to contact your two or three designated exhibitors a couple of weeks before the fair, and familiarize yourself with them. On the day of the fair, your job will be to assist the exhibitors with any complications they may encounter. The exhibitor managers will help you with any questions that you may not be able to answer yourselves. You will be assigned an exhibitor who will be your primary contact for any questions you may have. Prior to making contact with the exhibitors you will receive all the information needed to ensure that you have the necessary knowledge to help them as much as possible. We hope to see you at LARM2027!
As a driver for LARM2027, you’ll transport company representatives to and from the fair. Your day starts early, as companies may want to be picked up from 07:00. During the fair you’ll also be on call for any transportation needs, so you must stay on campus and be reachable at all times. A valid driver’s license is required to apply.
As a banquet host, you are a part of preparing the banquet for LARM2027. By bringing your creativity and sense for decorating, you contribute to the final event of the fair day. Primarily, your job is to ensure that everything runs smoothly before, during and after the banquet. This includes the entire timeline from decoration to help cleaning up them afterwards. During the banquet you are expected to greet the guests and guide them to their seats. Since your tasks include helping with banquet preparations, be aware that your tasks may start a few days before the fair day. The banquet hosts are experiencing the whole banquet from start to finish and are important assets for the banquet subgroup.
As catering host you will be helping with setting up the lunch halls, greeting guests and serving lunch. During the setup of the halls, you will help to create a nice flow of the rooms to make sure the lunch service works as smoothly as possible.
You will either be situated in student serving or in the service for the exhibitors.
The lunch service for students will be small and open only for the project group, hosts, representatives from Anders Ljungstedts Gymnasium who are working in the styling lounges and the representatives from ARG (a group of student representatives from other universities’ career fairs).
The exhibitor service will be a lot bigger and will be focused on the people who are representing companies.
Your responsibilities during the fair will include making sure the exhibitors and other fair workers receive their meals and helping people with special dietary requirements and restrictions find the food accommodated for them.
At the end of the fair day, you will be helping with cleaning up and restructuring the halls, for example with putting the tables back in the right places.
