Is there a national listing of all the college career fairs?

Is there a national (or perhaps, regional) listing of all the college career fairs in the United States?

My company is interested in me attending career fairs for recruiting purposes. Right now the only way for me to find upcoming fairs is to go to each individual school's website, one-by-one. I'd like to be able to see a list of all upcoming college fairs in the whole country. Seems like this would have to exist, because lots of companies would benefit from such a thing.

I've been an alumni rep at a couple of fairs for my college. My impression was that there is some degree of central coordination going on behind the scenes so that schools don't have to worry too much about having their professional staff in two places at once. Try contacting a couple of admissions offices (your alma mater's, for one) and asking them, they'd be able to point you in the right direction.

There definitely is some coordination within some regions. For example, I think the Florida universities have coordinated their career fairs so University of Florida would have their Career Fair on a Monday, Florida State on Tuesday, etc...

I don't know how I missed "career" in your question. Sorry.
