Speed dating with IT talents
In contrast to traditional company fairs, all participants take part in an “IT speed dating” - procedure. In small groups of five to six people, they visit the exhibition stands for about 7 minutes each. As an exhibitor, you can talk to all students without exception!
The subsequent "Open Room" and the "Get-together" give the opportunity to deepen the first contact with the participants individually.
Registration
The HPI Connect Fair will take place on May 21, 2026, on the campus of the Hasso Plattner Institute. All booth spaces have already been fully allocated. If you have any questions or are interested in the HPI Connect Fair 2027, please feel free to contact us.
For Students and Alumni
Students and alumni can meet potential employers from all business sectors directly on the HPI campus. All exhibitors are selected together with HPI students. The fair gives them the chance to get an overview of possible career paths and to find a position as a working student, an internship or jobs for graduates and professionals directly on campus.
For Companies
The fair offers employers the unique opportunity to get into direct contact with HPI students and alumni and to present career opportunities in their company. As one of about 26 companies, you will have the chance to meet students on campus in a personal setting. The offer for companies includes: a stand (3 × 2 meters, optionally as a "Floor Space only" or “Exhibition Stand”) and the presentation of your company in all marketing materials of the fair (brochure, poster, website and social media). Please find our terms and conditions for the HPI Connect Fair here. For more information on conditions and the application procedure, please send us an e-mail.
