After days as a student, it is not at all easy to get started. DUMP Association of Young Developers realized that students are not well acquainted with what they will need to use in practice, so this conference is an ideal opportunity for students to be educated about current problems and market demands and get acquainted with IT companies, which offers the opportunity to make many quality acquaintances and business collaborations.

The main program of the conference, as in previous years, will be rich and diverse. Experts will hold a series of lectures and 2-panel discussions that visitors will be able to watch online from their laptops from the comfort of their own homes. The latest IT trends and technologies will be presented, and visitors will be introduced to topics such as the future of marketing, how to create your own development agency or what challenges someone may encounter when working on their own application. Visitors will be able to apply their knowledge in workshops that top IT experts will also lead.

Those who are a little braver will not be disappointed by the schedule this year either. Fly talks will be held again - short one-on-one conversations between the student and the employer that provide insight into the knowledge and skills needed to find the ideal job in the IT sector. Of course, the difference from previous years is that these events will be in an online format!

Finally, several regional companies will showcase part of their work atmosphere and business culture in their showroom and allow visitors to find out all the information about their opportunities, whether in employment or internships. Although DUMP Days are a blend of education and business experience, the rich sweepstake is an integral part of the conference, so a relaxed atmosphere and fun will certainly not be lacking.

"This year, our primary goal is to bring the business world closer to students who see themselves in the IT sector, so we envisioned the conference as an event where representatives of the most prominent Croatian IT companies will be able to meet their future employees in an informal atmosphere and share key knowledge. For a successful career, in addition to the business side, the DUMP Days conference will introduce students to the various opportunities offered by the IT world and thus help them to be competent workers in those areas that interest them soon," said Alex Amanzi, one of the conference organizers.
