Nordic Tech Tour target audience?

Rick

I'm an intern in my second year for a bachelor in computer engineering. I've been working with the nRF52832 development kit as part of my assignment. I was looking through Nordic's events when the tech tour caught my attention. What is the target audience for these seminars? Is it just business men that attend these events, or do students/hobbyists attend as well? Would this event be interesting for me with my minimal knowledge of BLE/nRF52? I wouldn't want to sit through 5 hours of PR talk. I hope someone could answer some of my questions. I have never been to an event like this before.

    There was a system error earlier, it wasn't actually full. You should be able to sign up now, if you are quick.

    You can always watch a video or the slides of a seminar, but as Wojtek said:

    You can speak with engineers (who work on chip development or softdevice development) and get some info which normally is not available in documentation :)

    This is one of the most valuable parts! (Of course it's still awesome that Nordic Semi engineers make themselves so available on this Q&A forum.)

    But for you in university, more importantly, think about the other attendees you'd also meet. Face-to-face, friendships, contacts, connections, etc. matter so much if you're interested in working at a company in this field after you complete university (or even if you're unsure). It also sends a strong signal that you're wanting to learn more than the just the university course itself.

    I know from your other comment you've already registered, which is great, but think about these things. Talk to everyone you see, ask them questions about what they do, what they like about it, the challenges, etc. Tell them about your study and what you want to do. And if there are any after-events (even just a few people continuing on to a pub to chat), always go to the after-events even if you're feeling tired. :)

    Thanks for the reply. I will definitely try to do some networking. Looking forward to the event.

    and each attendee will get a free Nordic Thingy:52 IoT Sensor Kit at the end of the day (new product that will be launched end of Q2). :))))
