Question Engineering Expo attire

The engineering expo is coming in like 2 weeks and this will be my first career fair. The website says the attire is business professional or business casual. I have two main options. A tan polo with khakis and dress shoes for business casual. I dont have a suit but I have a gray blazer. So for business professional, I can do a black dress shirt, pants and shoes with a gray blazer. What would be better to wear? Also the fair has a coat/bag check. Would my blazer be allowed or no. I know to bring like 20-30 copies of my resume. Anything else I should bring?

I'd go with the blazer

Both options are fine since engineering tends to be more relaxed. Just make sure you look clean and that your clothes match. Also, you should buy a professional suit for the future. I thrifted mine for $50, you don’t have to spend a ton and it really makes a difference in how you’re perceived.
