FIND YOUR NINJA PROJECT : COOL PROJECTS IN APRIL
10+ cool tech companies meet 100+ Coding Ninjas

Want to find a great CTO, or developers? Want to find a a job at an interesting tech company?

Skills Matter and MiniBar have teamed up to bring great developers, software architects, testers and coders together with interesting tech companies and start ups (and vice versa).

At each evening event, up to 10 Tech Companies will pitch their coding projects – young web start-ups as well as more established ones, with innovative projects – to software developers looking for interesting, agile projects using progressive technologies.

The format is straight forward: we start with ten lightning sessions where the developer team and/or CTO of each company can pitch their software project and open position for 5 minutes. Following the lightning talks, the ten companies take a space where attendees can come and 'speed date' with them and if there is mutual attraction, swap cards!

And we hope to attract an audience of around 100 developers, architects and other software professionals with an interest in cool positions. For and by developers, this event should give you an good idea of the technologies and practices at some of the most exciting projects today.

During the event there will also be an opportunity to talk to the developers, CTOs and CEOs of the companies present and have a drink, or two.

Are you part of a company and would like the chance to pitch to attendees at this event? Please apply through findninja@skillsmatter.com and we will come back to you with further information on how you can get involved!
