About this event
If you're looking for real career momentum, not just another round of casual networking, DevconnectHER | Career Lab & Job Fair is built for you. This in-person gathering in Oro, Argentina brings together community, career development, and hiring-focused conversations in one room, so you can sharpen your approach, expand your network, and make meaningful professional connections. Whether you're actively job searching, exploring your next move, or simply want to meet people who understand the realities of building a career in tech and adjacent fields, this event gives you a place to show up with purpose. Expect a practical, social, and energizing afternoon centered on opportunity. About the Event DevconnectHER | Career Lab & Job Fair combines two things professionals often need at the same time: better career tools and better access to people. Instead of treating networking, job discovery, and career growth as separate activities, this event brings them together in a format designed to help attendees move from conversation to action. At its core, this is a community-driven career event. The "Career Lab" side suggests a space for learning, reflection, and improvement, while the "Job Fair" side creates room for direct exposure to opportunities and employer conversations. That combination makes the event especially useful if you want both guidance and traction. Because it's happening in person, the value goes beyond information. You can have real conversations, ask thoughtful questions, read the room, and build rapport more naturally than you can online. For many attendees, that face-to-face element is what turns a helpful event into a productive one. The tone of the event is likely to feel both professional and approachable: structured enough to be worthwhile, social enough to make meeting new people easier. If you've ever wanted a space where career development feels less abstract and more practical, this is that kind of setting. What to Expect You can expect an afternoon that blends career-focused programming with open networking and job exploration. Rather than a single talk or a purely transactional fair, the format points to multiple ways to participate depending on where you are in your career. Likely points of focus include: Career-building conversations around professional growth, positioning, and next steps Job fair interactions where you can learn about roles, teams, and hiring needs Community networking with peers, organizers, and professionals across backgrounds Social connection that makes the experience feel welcoming rather than stiff This kind of format works well because it supports different goals at once. You might spend part of the event learning how to present your experience more clearly, then use that clarity immediately in conversations with potential employers or new contacts. You may also find yourself meeting peers who share useful advice, referrals, or perspective. To get the most out of the event, come prepared to introduce yourself concisely, talk about the kind of work you're interested in, and ask questions that go beyond job titles. Good events like this are not only about handing over a resume; they're about understanding where you fit, what teams need, and how to build relationships that can continue after the event ends. Why Attend This event offers value whether you're actively applying for jobs or thinking more broadly about your career direction. The biggest advantage is that it creates a space where learning, visibility, and connection happen together. That matters, because career progress often depends on more than qualifications alone. You should attend if you want to: Meet people in a professional but friendly setting Practice talking about your experience and goals Discover opportunities you may not find through online applications alone Grow your network within a community-oriented environment Leave with clearer next steps for your career For many attendees, the real payoff of an event like this is momentum. A single conversation can lead to a follow-up meeting, a recommendation, a new idea about your job search, or a stronger sense of confidence. Even if you don't leave with an immediate offer, you can leave better prepared, better connected, and more informed. There is also something powerful about being in a room with people who are equally invested in growth. Community-centered events can reduce the isolation that often comes with job searching or career transition. They remind you that progress is not only about applying harder; it's also about finding the right people, spaces, and conversations. Practical Details Location: In person at Esq.
