The last Hacker Fair was pretty awesome as a potential recruiter - a bunch of bright people showing off stuff they're proud of (some of them slightly jetlagged, which can be amusing), really engaged in an informal environment where power isn't perceived to be on the recruiting side. If the same group of companies attend as last time, it would be a no-brainer to attend if you're interested in a job at one of them. In many ways, I found the questions asked by the candidates about the companies to be a lot closer to what I think people generally want to know, and it was great to watch two companies both trying hard in front of each other to impress the candidates.
