All information about the Athletes Day

In the afternoon, everything revolves around our Job & Education Fair 🎓💼. From 3:30 PM, as an athlete, you’ll have the opportunity to connect directly with decision-makers, build valuable contacts for your professional future, and learn more about open positions and educational opportunities. Our education partners will also be on site to provide detailed insights into their programs – including attractive discounts on selected courses.

Instead of a traditional stage program, three breakout sessions will take place simultaneously from 5:45 PM – and YOU get to choose! As the sessions run in parallel, you’ll need to pick your favorite:
