Every day, people stand up for our community in various ways.

That deserves a big round of applause! In our Community Area at UITS, you will find associations and initiatives that champion LGBTIQ+ causes. This is not about traditional job advertisements. Instead, the associations offer you insights into their work, invite you to exchange ideas and welcome people who are interested in volunteering. 

Find out about your community’s involvement in the tech sector and get in touch with people who are doing everything they can to make our community a little more colourful every day. Here you can easily discover new projects close to your heart, network and maybe even find a place where you can make a difference as a volunteer.

Take your CV to the next level!

Some of the exhibiting companies not only offer insights into their job vacancies, but are also on hand to review and optimise your CV. Make the most of this opportunity to get valuable feedback directly from the professionals and ensure your CV stands out.

Massage area - your little oasis of relaxation

Treat yourself to a short break from the hustle and bustle of the fair! Head over to the SXS Massage Area, where you can relax with a 10 to 15-minute massage on a special massage chair – without any oil and in your own clothing.

The offer is open to both visitors and exhibitors. Payment is on a donation basis, so you pay what the treatment is worth to you. Come along and let yourself be pampered!

Photo Booth

Do you want to show yourself at your best and let your unique sparkle shine through? Do you want to leave with professional photos that capture your identity and strength?

Then come along to Tali Tiller’s photo booth at the SXS Main Hall between 10 am and 12 noon. Tali is a passionate photographer and looks forward to supporting you in your next career move with professional application photos. You’ll receive the photos free of charge.

But please note: places are limited. It’s first come, first served.

Exciting Job Opportunities

At UITS you can look forward to exciting conversations with employers at their booths, as well as a wide range of job postings on the job wall on site. Here, our exhibitors present a broad spectrum of job opportunities waiting to be discovered by talented professionals like you.

Make sure to leverage the main event’s infrastructure and join the central STICKS & STONES Talent Pool. If you are actively looking for a job, you should definitely check it out!
