IT Career Fair Berlin: connecticum on 28 April 2027
At the connecticum IT Career Fair in Berlin, students, graduates and experienced professionals meet employers who are specifically looking for IT people, and discover concrete career and entry opportunities.
The connecticum IT Career Fair is the second day of connecticum 2027: Wednesday, 28 April 2027, 12:00 to 19:00, Convention Hall at MOA Berlin. It is about entry and career paths in IT, from software development and cloud to IT security, data engineering and SAP. On 28 April we specifically invite students and graduates of computer science and related subjects. Visitors from all fields are welcome on all three days; your ticket is valid for the whole fair.
Do you want to start a career in IT, get to know your first employer or take the next step in your career?
At the IT Career Fair you talk directly to company representatives, get to know vacancies and find out which technologies, expertise and profiles are in demand.
What to expect at the IT Career Fair
Conversations at the stands
Not every career opportunity starts with an application. At the stands and in one-to-one conversations you talk directly to company representatives about entry and careers. Ask about tech stack, projects and teams – things no job ad tells you.
Jobs for every career stage
At connecticum, employers present vacancies for every career stage: internships, working-student jobs, theses, trainee programmes, graduate entry and senior roles. Ask about positions in your field, such as software development, IT security or data science.
Your CV instead of a cover letter
At the stand, the conversation counts, not the cover letter. Experts check your CV right at the stand – in German or English. Show what you have worked on: a study project, a repository on GitHub or your thesis.
Who is the IT Career Fair for?
For every career stage, from your first internship to your next step with work experience.
