Program
The program of EAGxNordics 2024 includes talks, workshops, speaker office hours, a career fair, and networking meetups.
One-on-one meetings between attendees are also an important part of the conference, and we provide physical space and digital infrastructure (Swapcard app) to help attendees connect.
Vegan meals will be provided for attendees. There will also be unofficial satellite events such as an afterparty.
