What it's about

We bring together a line-up of job seekers and startups and corporate innovators that are hiring right now.

Companies at this event are hiring for full-time, part-time and contract positions. For internships, check out the next event on November 8th.

It’s an event that facilitates quick hiring: you pitch your skill sets, companies pitch who they are and what they're looking for, you connect with each other in a casual networking environment, we help with the matchmaking. Yes, it’s totally intense… and it’s totally a fun, engaging event. Call us crazy, but we think this is the best, most meaningful way to hire & find opportunities.

See it in action!!
