It saw school and college leavers visit the dozens of universities, colleges and business stands.
The University of East Anglia, University of Cambridge, Aviva, the NHS, Norfolk Police, the armed forces and Great Yarmouth Borough Council were among the stands.
The event was organised by the Network for East Anglian Collaborative Outreach.
