The much-anticipated annual Computing Expo at South East Technological University (SETU) is set to take place on Friday, 22 May at SETU’s Cork Road Campus in Waterford.

This year’s event, at the Tourism and Leisure (T&L) Building, promises to be bigger and better than ever, combining innovative student computing projects, an engaging industry showcase, and a prestigious student awards ceremony all under one roof.

The expo, sponsored by Kargo, a leader in digital ad solutions, offers over 100 undergraduate and postgraduate final-year students a unique platform to showcase their innovative projects. It will also provide attendees the chance to network with future talent and engage with cutting-edge developments in the world of technology.

Amanda Freeman-Gater, Assistant Head of Computing and Mathematics Department at SETU said, “In addition to the student-led project demonstrations, the event will feature an industry showcase with leading ICT companies from the South East.

“These companies will have the opportunity to connect directly with students, promote their enterprises, and explore potential collaborations with SETU. This is an invaluable occasion for students to gain insights from industry professionals and for companies to discover the next generation of tech innovators.”

Ms Freeman-Gater added, “This event is not only a celebration of academic achievement, but also an opportunity for students and industry professionals to forge meaningful connections. SETU continues to lead the way in connecting education with industry, creating a bridge that ensures students have the skills and opportunities they need to thrive in the ever-evolving digital landscape.”
