CollegeFest reaches 15,000 New England students with a two-day event each fall with concerts, product demos and sampling, and marketing research. Students pay $10 to attend the Sept. 17-18 event in Boston’s Hynes Convention Center.
“This acquisition demonstrates our commitment to offer corporate America the most efficient and reliable means to target the elusive college market,” said Mr. Youth CEO Paul Tedeschi in a statement.
