“I come to this event every year and I’m so impressed about how it keeps getting better. Today, I heard a talk about sports associations, and I want to hear the talk about childcare. I don’t have children yet, but I want to, so many things on the program are relevant for me.”

“Good to be able to meet some potential employers today. I get the sense here that many companies are interested in hiring internationals. That’s uplifting for me.”
Participant

“I had to drag my colleague here today. She was very cynic and sceptic about the event, thinking that it would just be a lot of people wanting to sell stuff to us. But now we have been here for hours. It is so good and just like you promised it would be. I talked to a man from the tax office and he helped clear up all my questions. Such a weight off my shoulders. Thank you all for this!”
