Contact Forum now offers companies a new way to build their employer image among higher education students and graduates throughout the year. The service brings companies visibility and recognition all year round – not just during the event.
The core of the service is continuous presence across multiple channels: social media, newsletters, job site, and partner network. Messages are targeted according to the company's goals, and their effectiveness is monitored using clear reports.
Companies can choose from three brand packages and two recruitment packages. Packages can be customized to suit specific needs and include, for example, social media posts, newsletter visibility, articles, webinars, and job advertisements.
This is ideal for companies that want to stand out as employers, reach students and graduates over the long term, and make recruitment more efficient and cost-effective.

Every year, we invest more and more in quality encounters. The fairs are promoted throughout the autumn on campuses, on social media and at student events to ensure the Contact Forum has the widest possible range of participants.
Contact Forum is an interdisciplinary recruitment event. Our main target groups are the technical, IT and commercial sectors, which is also the focus of the map.
At the previous Contact Forum in January 2026, nearly 7,000 visitors from around 30 different universities attended the event. The largest visitor groups came from the University of Helsinki, Metropolia, Aalto University and Haaga-Helia.
Registration is open until the end of 2026 or until all exhibition spaces are fully booked.
We always offer free cancellation for 14 days after registration.
We will send an invoice for the reservation fee (50% of the exhibition package price) within one month of registration. The final invoice will be sent in January 2027. If you wish to receive the final invoice already in 2026, please contact us.

Contact Forum is a great opportunity to be noticed by the most interesting candidates and find the right people for the job. Genuine encounters will leave a lasting impression that will last through the spring and autumn searches.

Because websites don't tell enough: tell, discover and inspire, because they are your future candidates!
Year after year, our visitors come to the fair to learn more about companies - to ask what it's really like to work in your company - and leave with many new employers in mind. If you're struggling to reach young talent, attending Contact Forum is a great opportunity to start building your brand awareness and employer image!
