Out of ca. 40 projects developed during the first semester of 2015-2016 academic year, the best ca. 20 have been selected to be presented publicly by the student developers. They are split in three categories: Mobile Games, Utility Apps, Lifestyle Apps. The apps will be organized in order to be presented on two different tracks (of course in two different rooms). All projects will be presented in 8-10 minutes timeslots. Specialist juries will evaluate the apps from the conceptual, technical and business/market potential points of view, generating the biggest part of the final grade the student will get.

The presentations will be followed by a networking event, facilitating the contact of the presenting students with the people in the audience.

As an attendance member, you will be able to understand the overall professional level of the generation graduating this year, to assist to a dynamic program including, for sure, interesting projects to associate with in an adviser, promoter, business partner, or, why not, investor capacity. And yes, we are not hiding the possibility that this event can get your company some recruitment leads. :)
