That allows young people to have contact with company from start-ups, agencies, Ccnsultancies, small and medium enterprises to large organizations.

Algumas das empresas/startup presentes

I can say that it was a full House, people excited and there were funny moments.


More about the event.

Was there any cost?
It had a cost for companies, but not for those who were looking/visit, registration was mandatory like any event.

Were there any job offer constraints on the company's present?

Unfortunately yes, some of the offers had an age limit up to 30 years. Although I am over 30 years old I still consider myself young. 

What kind of offers were there?

Mainly IT offerings, system administrators, C# or Java developers and more.

Does this mean that these events are only for young people?

No !!!

Is it worth going to these events?

Of course yes! For those who know me I'm at almost every public event held at Microsoft Lisbon. It's not because it's free, it's mainly about Networking, conviviality and fun. And I always see people known as António Lourenço and I invited you to visit his blog in http://antoniolourenco.com/.

Where can I check out the upcoming Tech Startup Job Fair?

I want to thank the Microsoft DX team for getting these events and othersand to continue the good work.

With help of the following volunteers David Oliveira, João Tito Lívio, Niko Neugebauer, Paulo Matos, Ricardo Cabral (I) and Tiago Vidigal is always nice to be able to help at events and communities we have no cash prize but we gains big contacts (Networking) and knowledge. Congratulations to all the volunteers and TUGA.

24 Hours of PASS: Portuguese Edition 2016

I was invited to be a moderator in the 24 Hours of PASS: Portuguese Edition 2016 that took place between 14 to 18 November. 

I loved the experience, although we are just moderating the session, we are supporting the speaker and participants who are watching so that their questions can be answered and that everything goes smoothly. I have been a volunteer in SQL Saturday in Lisbon and Porto and it is similar but online.

Be moderator is not just to connect the computer to the Internet watch the speaker and wait for the session to finish. It is necessary to test everything with the speaker, to ask if you want to answer the questions during or at the end of the session and more.

I want to thank Murilo Miranda, Vítor Pombeiro, António Lourenço, André Melancia, to all the speakers and team of the 24 Hours of Pass Portuguese edition 2016. To Microsoft Portugal for having lending its facilities. And of course to all participants.

Thank you very much for the experience.
