The event will take 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 will have three event halls, numerous lecture halls and three buildings covering all disciplines on campus.
