The DUMP Days conference, organized by members of the DUMP Association of Young Developers, has brought together the technological giants of the Croatian IT scene for six years. The free student conference will be held on May 14 and 15 at the FESB, and this year brings even more opportunities to share knowledge and experiences while networking.
“Finally, we return to the standard edition of the conference, which will be held live, but this time with 32 leading IT companies with offices in Croatia and more content than all previous editions. This May, FESB will once again become the center of the Croatian IT scene,” said Nino Borović, conference organizer and vice president of the DUMP Association of Young Developers.
In addition to world-renowned sponsors, including Blank, Extension Engine, Photomath, and Rimac Technology, the conference will be joined by several prominent speakers who will cover the latest trends in tech, development, design, and marketing. Practical workshops are a unique opportunity to get acquainted with the most modern technologies and techniques used in the profession.
Ilija Brajković, Executive Director of Kontra Digital Agency and a lecturer at last year’s DUMP Days, has only words of praise for the young organizers: “Regardless of the situation, the Association created a top conference. Excellent preparation, communication, and top support before and after the lecture make each lecturer’s job much easier. In addition, the quality of the lectures and the content, in general, was top notch.”
The sponsorship stands of the companies are open to all visitors and are located in the atrium of the faculty. Those seriously looking for a job in IT should sign up for Fly Talks. Short-speed dating interviews are ideal for presenting yourself and your resumes to employers! In addition to Fly Talks, there are also Campfire Talks, a mini panel discussion between several professionals and the audience.
“When the organization of a tech event is approached with professionalism that, due to such capacity, exceeds one hundred percent, the result is always spectacular, memorable, and contagious with positivity, knowledge, and expertise. So I’m coming again – and you as you wish,” added Dragan Petric, IT expert and editor-in-chief of the BUG web portal magazine, who has participated in DUMP Days several times, and this year is leading a panel discussion.
On the second day of the conference, the prize draw winners will be announced. All participants who sign up for the DUMP Days app and collect points can take part in the hunt for valuable prizes such as Quest 2 VR, a drone, smartwatch, headphones and much more.
The conference doors are open to anyone who wants to step into the business world. Log on to days.dump.hr and join the new generation.
