SINFO 24
SINFO 24
Since the end of SINFO’s last edition, many things have changed! We have a renewed team and our batteries are recharged
to bring to our collegues, once more, the next edition of our event, SINFO 24! Our little fellow mascot, Hacky,
didn’t stop for a minute and has already done some tricks.
The 24th edition of SINFO will be from the 20th to the 24th of February 2017, and we can guarantee it will be the
all-time best edition. After the huge success of the 23rd edition, we will keep on bringing the best possible speaker
lineup, as well as the best companies in the area. Our goal is to provide to SINFO’s audience an unique experience and
an opportunity for each participant to develop their main interests and, of course, their networks.
For achieving that purpose we offer a stand exhibition where the students can meet the best national and some
international companies interested in recruiting them, the keynotes of international and world known speakers, and
last but not least, the several tech-related workshops we offer during each day of the event. Everything can be found
together in the same physical space, the SINFO’s tent!
We can promise SINFO 24 is going to be the best week ever for IT lovers.
ROADMAP
ROADMAP
Starting a new edition of SINFO requires a very first step that involves looking attentively at the last edition, identifying failures
and successes. A few members of the organizing committee might have to leave, which means that new members must join
the team - actually, right after the end of one more edition of SINFO, the organizing committee changes in order to suffice new
requirements and challenges, welcome new collaborators and, if necessary, open new teams and departments.
In July, it’s time to start contacting the speakers for the next edition of SINFO. All the logistic details also start being thought at
this month. Building SINFO requires not only a huge tent, but also a huge amount of time. We aim to provide the best conditions
to our colleagues year after year, which means preparing everything in advance.
Only in September we start looking for sponsor’ partners. Every collaborator of SINFO’s organizing committee must get involved
in both contacts to speakers and future sponsors. It’s not an one-person job, it is instead a teamwork. It is also a job that must
be done until the end of SINFO.
It is also in September that we iniciate the contact with other companies/entities in order to establish partnerships beneficial for
both sides.
Between October and December, it’s necessary to start working in our design materials, website and communication tools. We
must lauch SINFO’s new edition early January - the latest.
During the week before SINFO, the most stressful period comes along with all the last-minute tasks we must do. It’s time for
final details, building the tent and preparing the infra-structutures that will host the event.
