Careers today are no longer linear — they are experimental, strategic, and deeply personal. This edition of Thursday Gathering focuses on how students, professionals, and career switchers can rethink how they position themselves, build agency, and navigate an increasingly competitive job market.
From reimagining employee experience to developing personal audacity and mastering modern job-hunting strategies, the evening brings together perspectives from education, psychology, and career design. Expect practical insights, reflective exercises, and actionable frameworks to help you move from uncertainty to direction.
In the Demo Table zone you will discover various products, technologies and projects being presented by the founders or startup-representatives.
In the Info Table zone you will find out about projects, organisations and ideas.
Want to present your organisation? Send us an application!
However remember, this is NO HARD SALES zone.
Unwind, connect, and vibe to the rhythm! This lively session blends casual networking with great music, offering the perfect atmosphere to meet fellow innovators, exchange ideas, and forge new collaborations. Grab a drink, enjoy the beats, and build meaningful connections in a relaxed, energetic setting.
AI can write, build, analyse, and optimise. The one thing it cannot do is decide that your life needs to change and then pay the price for changing it. In a world where skill, knowledge, or even creativity are getting cheaper every day, agency becomes the most valuable human asset. And when agency meets resistance — from systems, cultures, industries, or your own wiring — it has to become something fiercer: audacity.
Using stories and hands-on exercises, we'll look at how to grow your audacity muscle to live a truly extraordinary life. A life that is yours, and not someone else’s script. Leave with a question that changes how you make every next decision.
Job hunting in 2026 is brutal. Employers are chasing a "perfect candidate" that doesn't exist, while talented professionals who've spent years mastering their craft are suddenly expected to become expert job seekers overnight. It's a broken system.
This workshop is for people who are done sending applications into the void and are ready to play the game strategically, without letting the process shake their confidence.
In 30 minutes, we'll cover:
— Why the market feels so terrible right now
— How to build a market strategy around the right opportunities, not just any role
— How to optimize your Linkedin to bring Recruiters to YOU
— How to source roles with lower competition and stand out as an applicant
— Networking, communities, and the offline moves that actually open doors
This event is hosted by founder Vanessa Wachtmeister and Go Onwards — Europe's #1 job board without borders. We help you find and land roles faster with fresh jobs, personalized role matching, and smart application features across 30+ European countries.
Come ready to take notes. Leave with a real plan. 🌍
