Practical event details
Date and time 16 September 2026, from 11:00 to 17:00. The day takes place at TonHalle Munich, Werksviertel Mitte, Atelierstraße 24, 81671 Munich. Participation is free and does not require payment. The organizers publish a free registration for visitors on the official website.
What companies and profiles you’ll find
The target audience is engineers and IT professionals looking for new opportunities, both active professionals and recent graduates. Exhibiting companies present technical vacancies that can be consulted on the job boards present in the room. Stands are staffed by both technical personnel and HR professionals, which facilitates conversations focused on the specific requirements of the positions.

How to prepare your prospecting in Munich
Arrive with a clear objective and organized materials. Practical recommendations: prepare a résumé adapted to two specific profiles you will look for on the job board, identify three priority companies and note technical and position-related questions. Capture or note the relevant vacancies on the job boards before speaking with recruiters. If interested, book a CV review in the matching app to optimize your application on the day itself.
In interactions with recruiters prioritize brief examples of projects and quantifiable results. Bring links to a portfolio or repositories accessible from your mobile to show work without relying on printed material. Plan a clear follow-up after the fair with personalized messages referring to the specific vacancy.
Practical information for visitors
Access is free and registration can be managed on the event page. At TonHalle there will be job boards with the offers and company stands for direct contact with technical staff and HR. Professional orientation services offered by consultants and by VDI are also available according to the schedule.

If your goal is to move within the German technical market, take advantage of the combination of job boards, CV reviews and face-to-face meetings offered by the Día de Reclutamiento de VDI nachrichten.
