The VIS Kontaktparty is the largest academic IT job fair in Switzerland and primarily addresses students and graduates from the ETH Department of Computer Science. The event takes place yearly during the Spring semester and is organized by the Kontaktparty-Kommission (KPK) of the VIS. The mission of the Kontaktparty is to enable students and company representatives to connect and get to know each other in a casual way.
The next Kontaktparty takes place on Saturday, March 7th from 11:00 – 16:00 at the cafeteria Polyterrasse with 75 participating companies.
