I have been to the odd really rubbish job fair in the past (mainly just because I have been curious) but due to the fact I am trying to steer my work in a new direction, I decided to go to a proper jobs fair for what I was looking for (I've had an interest in digital technology for awhile, but they didn't used to have careers fairs for it). This particular one was run by Digital Shoreditch (which is actually running for over another week).
The thing I liked about this one was that it had been well organised. There were people from various companies to chat to (but all within a circular area - we were in a big top tent - which also fits in with the creative side), a CV and Portfolio surgery done by good digital agencies, some workshops and free food and drink (which I think is important when people are there for a long time).
I was particularly interested in two stalls who I talked to staff at and was very impressed with (Entraprise and Unruly - the latter, even gave me a cupcake after chatting to me - 10 points : p).
I think if you are looking for digital work, you should definitely check them out. I feel I have some leads now to follow and a little more direction than I felt before.
