ATK-YTP Turku
In Turku, everything is a little different. This autumn, IT students from across Finland will get to experience that firsthand as ATK-YTP takes over the city! ATK Cooperation Days (ATK-Yhteistoimintapäivät, ATK-YTP) is an annual event organized by the Finnish Association of Computing Students (TiTOL). Every year, it brings together students from seven university cities across Finland. Expect interesting talks from industry professionals and companies, opportunities to meet new people, and student culture at its finest. During the daytime, participants dive into the seminar program and explore current topics in the IT industry. Once the seminars are over, the event shifts into a more familiar gear with an energetic evening program featuring checkpoint tours, pre-parties, after-parties, and everything else you've come to fearfully expect from YTP, naturally with a Turku twist. During the event, TiTOL will also hold its Autumn Federation Meeting, where, among other things, the association's board for the coming year will be elected. If nationwide student advocacy and organizational activities interest you, this is an excellent opportunity to see what TiTOL does and how you can get involved Registration Registration opens on 30 September at 11:00 and closes on 9 October at 23:45. Tickets including bus transportation are available only in limited quantities (56 seats). If you do not manage to get a bus ticket, you can join the waiting list for cancellation spots (Telegram: @kanakeitto).
