A highlight of the fair is the "speed-dating" segment with potential employers and educational institutions, providing visitors with the opportunity to make numerous interesting contacts in a short amount of time. Considered one of the most successful events of its kind in Germany, the vocatium fair has evolved into an important meeting place for students, university graduates, career starters, and employers over the years.
