Meet your future employers: Networking at the Old Ship Hotel

It's the end of the academic year! The Data-Intensive Science Centre at the University of Sussex (DISCUS) is organising a drinks reception and a chance to meet local employers, who will be looking to hire data scientists or offer placements & internships.

We'll host around 40 local companies, and some of them will give a 2 minute pitch on what they work on and what working for them is like.

After the pitches, we'll open up the room with drinks, canapes and you can network with all the employers who are attending, ask questions and make contacts to support you in developing your career plans.

Do you find networking events stressful?

That's why we're organising the companies to give a pitch - so you can listen first and figure out who you most want to speak with.

We'll also run a 'matching desk' - if you want to speak to a particular person or company and don't get the chance on the night, just let us know. We will arrange an introduction by email after the event and you can take it from there.

So sign up ... dress up ... & come along!

Please register using your Sussex email address.

Please note that photographs and footage will be taken throughout this event. These will be used by the University for marketing and publicity in our publications, on our website and in social media or in any third party publication. Please contact the event organiser ([email protected]) if you have any concerns or if you wish to be exempted from this activity.
