November 15, 2015

The idea about an event with local experts was developed during the planning of Internet Week Denmark 2015. Local Rock Stars is a partnership between companies in and around Aarhus, and the purpose is to share knowledge and highlight local experts – software developers, UX and Interaction Designers.

Local Rock Stars is made in collaboration with eBay Classifieds Group, Creuna, IT Minds, Vertica, and Studenterhus Aarhus.

Programme

The day was filled with informative and interesting events from our local tech and UX rock stars.
