What the Indy Pride Career Fair Is

Indy Pride, the nonprofit behind the city's June Pride celebration, runs this fair to connect job seekers with employers that value diversity, inclusion and belonging. According to the organizer's official event page, it is aimed at people entering the workforce, people weighing a career change, and anyone who simply wants to work somewhere that shares their values.

The employer side comes with a condition: exhibitors must be LGBTQ+ affirming to take a table. That is the real value here. You are not guessing about company culture from a careers page; the screening happened before anyone set up a booth.

The organizer's exhibitor materials also offer employers on-site interview space and list resume coaching and career advice among the services at the event, so it is worth arriving ready to talk seriously, not just collect brochures.

💼 Who's Hiring

Indy Pride has not published an employer roster for this year's fair, and we won't guess at one. Treat it the way you would any open fair: bring a resume that works across industries, and be ready to pitch yourself in 30 seconds to whoever is behind the table. Check the organizer's page on Friday in case a list goes up before the doors open.

The evening hours are a big part of the appeal. A 4 p.m. start on a Saturday means you don't have to burn a vacation day or duck out of a shift to get face time with a recruiter.

📋 How to Show Up Ready

Bring ten or more printed resumes, plus a digital copy on your phone.
Dress business casual. Nobody needs a suit, but look like you came to be hired.
RSVP ahead so you receive event updates and any schedule changes.
Have a short answer ready for “What kind of role are you looking for?”
Collect names and emails, and send follow-up notes by Monday.
