The Global Recruitment Playground

Fall 2026 Unconvention - The Global Recruitment Playground

An afternoon filled with ways to bring people together - reverse pitching, Q&As, world cafés, hotseats, and fck up stories for people building companies that don’t suck to work at.

What we do:

People over polished talks

Facilitate natural ways to connect and meet people

Practical knowledge for founders, operators and ambitious professionals navigating scale in real time

Dedicated zones

Stage Zone - Join us at the stage

Expo Zone - Meet the partners who are scaling or solve your problems

Co-working Zone - Space to sit down and still get things done

1:1 Zone - Take the time for a conversation in a comfortable setting

Quiet Zone - Sometimes you just need a break! No talking allowed

Accessibility first

Data rich badges - know who you're talking to and why

Captions on the main stage

One level for the whole event

Space to get around between tables

Elevators, accessible toilets - completely wheelchair and stroller friendly

What we aren't:

Sit and listen passive panel - get involved in the stage program at every point.

Stay for the day - we know Oslo Innovation Week has you jumping across the city, feel free to come and go throughout the program. We are here all afternoon!

A conventional job fair - we go beyond booths and speed dating

A space where you have to leave your baby at the door - we are 'barnevogn' / stroller friendly by design

Just another networking event - know who is in the room and why with facilitated ways to meet and build relationships

Scaling a company is hard and careers are evolving faster than we know - there is no one right way to do it all. So lets talk about it!
