A spot where enterprises can present themselves and benefit from a direct contact with the students. This space will be home to a showcase with various gadgets and interaction devices for the public to experience as well as a meet-and-greet with some of the speakers. The exposition will take place every day of the event, during the entire day.
For 45 minutes, enterprise speakers discuss about a chosen theme or project their company has worked on and that is normally related to the specific day’s theme. The fields of activity of the enterprise are also discussed, as well their major clients and most interesting projects. At the end, there is some time reserved for Q&A.
Joel Spolsky - "I don't recall any American university where the students promote their own conferences."
Rob Bishop - "I think this is the best lineup I've ever seen!"
Ray Muzyka - "It’s amazing what you have done without any university funding!"
Afonso Salcedo- "Congratulations for the conference, you're really doing an amazing job and you should be proud. You Rock!"
Adam DuVander- "The energy and interest from the attendees of SINFO has to be my favorite part of the event. With that kind of atmosphere, optimism is contagious. What a perfect setting for technical creativity."
Among the enterprise presentations, speakers presentations, debate panels, workshops and the tecnological exposition the last edition was home to more than 4000 participants.
In an independent inquiry from SAPO Developers Blog, SINFO was considered to be in the top 3 best IT events in Portugal.
