Visit KAMK 2024 – Thank you to attendees, exhibitors and presenters

Last year, Visit KAMK combined the joy of learning and experimentation as the worlds of learning and RDI (research, development and innovation) activities come together at the event. The event offereded emotions, information and activities.

Visit KAMK 2024 offered a diverse event that included career and recruitment fairs, a showcase of KAMK’s RDI activities, event halls, lectures and a variety of micro-learning sessions. The event took place on the campus of Kajaani University of Applied Sciences (Taito 1 and 2 and Tieto 2 buildings), with presentations, lectures and workshops taking place in classrooms and halls on campus at various times. The event had three event halls, numerous lecture halls and three buildings covering all disciplines on campus.

The Career and Recruitment Fair was a networking event for partners, job seekers and event guests. The Career and Recruitment Fair took place in the Taito 1 and 2 and Tieto 2 buildings between 9am and 3pm. Various lectures and presentations took place at the same time and the day culminated in a presentation by Sointu Borg in the Campus Heart of the Tieto 2 building.
