Plenty of evening networking events

Slush 2023 didn’t end when the sun set. The evenings were as vibrant as the days, with plenty of networking activities to choose from.  While the discussions heated up inside the event, Helsinki greeted us with its signature cold. It added a unique charm to the overall experience, reminding us that innovation thrives even in the chilliest climates!

A special shout-out to the Finnish student volunteers whose enthusiasm and dedication contributed to the seamless flow of the event.
In conclusion, Slush 2023 demonstrated, again, the limitless possibilities that technology holds.
