Okay, I haven't exactly attended many over the years, but from the ones I did attend, my experience is that they were moderately fun to walk around, had a few interesting companies there... and didn't really lead to any new jobs or offers. I think that's because they're too broad. I mean, web development (and software engineering in general) has a ton of different technologies and job roles involved, hence about 90% of those on offer will almost always end up being irrelevant to your skillset, especially since most companies involved in these want someone that can come onboard and start being productive immediately after they're hired. Still, I think a more 'specialised' career fair might work out though. Something dedicated to a certain language or field of interest rather than a general market (like tech/startups/media) or what not.
