Aalto Talent Expo is Aalto University’s largest recruitment event, which brings together employers and students in the fields of business, arts and design, and technology. 

Aalto Talent Expo will be held on 12 November 2026 from 11.00 to 17.00 at Dipoli in Otaniemi. The address of Dipoli is Otakaari 24, 02150 Espoo.

For Aalto University bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral students, and for employers who offer jobs or traineeships corresponding to the education of Aalto University students.

We encourage you to arrive at the event by public transport or taxi. There is very limited parking space on the campus, so we recommend avoiding arriving by your own car.

Unfortunately, Dipoli is not a fully accessible space. The fair is held on two floors, and the 2nd floor is primarily reached by stairs. However, we want to ensure that every fair participant and exhibitor has the best possible experience, and we hope that if you have any questions regarding accessibility or, for example, accessible arrival / transport of goods, you will contact us in advance at talentexpo@aalto.fi. We are happy to help and guide you in all situations.

The fair programme consists of the fair event at Dipoli and a virtual programme on the days leading up to the fair day. The virtual fair programme consists of CV and LinkedIn clinics, portfolio guidance as well as speed mentoring and speed mentoring for doctoral students. 

We require all fair participants to follow Aalto’s safer space principles. We do not accept any kind of inappropriate treatment, bullying or harassment at the event. As a fair participant, you commit to following the safer space principles.

If you encounter or observe harassment, report it immediately to the event organisers or security personnel. As a student, you can also contact AYY’s harassment contact persons (equity@ayy.fi), but in urgent situations always turn to the staff on site.

We will inform Aalto University students about Talent Expo by email and in JobTeaser closer to the event. For the event, there is an optional registration in JobTeaser.

Yes. There is a free CV photoshooting at the fair for the entire opening hours from 11.00 to 17.00.

You can explore employers and open positions on JobTeaser via the Talent Expo event page. The event page will be updated during the autumn.

The virtual programme of Talent Expo (CV and LinkedIn clinics, portfolio review, speed mentoring and speed mentoring for doctoral students) will be organised on 10-11 November before the fair via Teams. More detailed information will be updated in autumn 2026 on Aalto JobTeaser.

Registration for the virtual programme will take place in Aalto JobTeaser in autumn 2026. A limited number of places is available and they will be filled in order of registration. Registration is binding.

Aalto Talent Expo is intended only for Aalto University students. We encourage you to follow the recruitment events of your own school!

Print-ready materials must be delivered to the fair builder by 8 October in accordance with the material instructions.

You can order any additional furniture directly from our stand builder WS-Expo on this page. Additional orders must be placed by 8 October.

Mini stands are intended for small and medium-sized enterprises and non-profit associations. In defining SMEs we use the criteria of Statistics Finland. Please ensure that your organisation meets the requirements before choosing a mini stand.

It is not permitted to bring heat-emitting devices, such as popcorn or candyfloss machines, to the exhibition stand. The reason for this is the venue’s automatic fire alarm system, which reacts to heat. It is permitted to bring, for example, a small refrigerator, cold cabinet etc. to the exhibition stand. However, this must be reported in advance by email to talentexpo@aalto.fi, so that our stand builders can plan the electrical work in advance and we can avoid, for example, power cuts on the exhibition day.

Yes, but they must be agreed in advance by email at talentexpo@aalto.fi. The structures must be fire safe, stable and safely installed, and comply with the safety regulations in force. Exhibitors are responsible for erecting their own structures.

The fair will be organised in accordance with the principles of sustainable development, and all participants commit to acting in an environmentally responsible manner. As an exhibitor, this must be taken into account in the design and implementation of your stand.

You can promote sustainability in the following ways, for example:

• Favour digital solutions (e.g. QR codes) instead of printed materials and, when needed, choose ecological materials.
• Consider whether giveaways are necessary and primarily make use of existing materials.
• Choose practical, long-lasting and sustainably produced options as giveaways.
