Inspiration
of the season

The passion for digital and technology unites our community.

Therefore, as well as our traditional activities, we have prepared special ones for Friends Day, that held November 3rd at UNIT.City in order to bring back pleasant memories of your first steps in IT.

Gaming zone

Retro games on consoles, an arcade game machine, and mini-tournaments on SEGA with Mortal Kombat and World Cup Soccer with consoles as prizes.

DJ set, talks & drinks

The Friends Day aura is +100 to the chance to meet and connect with like-minded professionals.

IoT Lab

The Nanit Robot location awakened the inventor's spirit. Participants could test various devices and learn about their assembly.

Speeches

We don't cook much speeches. But it's extremely delicious, based on selected recipes from top experts in tech, design and business.

Nostalgic geek stuff

A quest to find Pokémon, a full-length Spider-Man and Pikachu, a fantasy quest board from partners, and dozens of easter eggs throughout the location.

The award ceremony

The moment that we had been building up to for over two months. The moment that finally revealed the winners of the XXI season.

For the first time, DEV Challenge, we launched the macOS nomination in partnership with MacPaw. It is a special one, because unlike iOS, it is rarely seen at any IT competitions or hackathons.

There were also 5 traditional nominations: Backend, Frontend, Testing, Product design, UI design.
