The information you provide during registration is essential for us to create a personalized and effective experience at UPWARD. A complete profile helps companies get to know you better and reach out to you with the right opportunities. Your details are printed directly onto your name badge, which you’ll receive at check-in.

You are welcome to invite your friends who are either students, graduates or young professionals with up to five years of professional experience. In order to participate in the campaign, the invited person must also attend the event.

Many participating companies publish their current openings in their profiles ahead of time, so you can check for a good match in advance.

Our tip: Take the chance to book a personal meeting to discuss a specific position you saw online!
