The first 20 years of the Contact Forum recruitment fairs were an annual effort by student volunteers. As demand grew, a company, CF Student Fairs Ltd, was set up in the background to develop the event at an ever-increasing pace. The owners of CF-Opiskelijamessut Oy - six student organisations - ensure that the event remains a link between students, recent graduates and businesses.
Contact Forum has its roots in the Otaniemi Dipole, from where the fair expanded to the Cable Factory. Since 2016, the event has been held at the Helsinki Exhibition Centre. In 2021, Contact Forum was held for the first time virtually on the Hopin virtual event platform.
Contact Forum is Finland's only truly interdisciplinary and open recruitment event for future talent: the event attracts visitors from more than 20 higher education institutions, covering for example all Finnish universities!
Being student-driven is Contact Forum's home-field advantage - we have a fresh memory of what's challenging in job search and the first steps of career paths. We want to help young talent find the right path and the right work community for them!

Contact Forum has its roots in Otaniemi's Dipoli, from where the fair expanded to Cable Factory. Since 2016, the event has been organized at the Helsinki Messukeskus. In 2021, the Contact Forum was held virtually for the first time due to the corona virus. After Covid, the event has grown even more and broken old records.
Today, Contact Forum is one of Finland's largest career events, attracting more than 140 organizations and more than 7,000 visitors every year. The event offers students and graduates the opportunity to network and find jobs, and companies an opportunity to reach new talents and develop their employer image. Contact Forum is still organized at the Helsinki Fair Center, and the event has expanded to include versatile programs, such as CV clinics, photo booths, seminars and career coaching.
In the summer of 2024, CF-Opiskelijamessut Oy changed its name to CF Events Oy. This change reflects the company's expanded field of activity and new opportunities. CF Events Oy will continue to offer the opportunity to reach the highly educated talents you are looking for, as well as teachings and ideas, to show how you can more easily attract talented people to you and make them stay in your service even longer.
