Step Into the Future of Talent with YPAI

What drives the next generation of professionals? How can your company stay ahead in a job market where expectations evolve faster than ever?

Join us for an afternoon where ambition, insights, and innovation collide – featuring students from Aalborg University participating side-by-side with leading companies.

This event isn’t just about listening – it’s about exchanging perspectives across the table.

From a dynamic panel debate on the future of recruitment to the unveiling of fresh insights from the 2025 YPAI survey, you’ll gain valuable input straight from the source: the early career professionals who are already redefining the workplace.

Why is it powerful? Because when companies and students meet as equals, real conversations happen. And those conversations spark new ideas, challenge assumptions – and help shape workplaces that attract and inspire the talent of tomorrow.

Come for the data. Stay for the dialogue. Leave with actionable insights and authentic connections.

    Tuesday, September 23rd 

    📍Location: Aalborg University (AAU), A. C. Meyers Vænge 15, 2450 København SV

    This year, we’re especially excited to be hosting the event at Aalborg University – right where many of tomorrow’s early career professionals are shaping their future.

    Aalborg University is known for its strong academic environment and wide range of study programmes, spanning everything from engineering, IT, and natural sciences to business, communication, social sciences, and health. This diversity gives us a unique opportunity to engage with a broad spectrum of talent – from future tech innovators and analysts to creative communicators and strategic thinkers.

    By bringing the event to the heart of this dynamic university, we create a space where companies and students can meet on equal footing – to exchange ideas, share expectations, and inspire each other across industries and career paths.
