About this event
If you’re a student trying to find your place in tech, this meetup is a good place to start. It’s a chance to meet other students in Paris who are building, learning, applying, and figuring things out in real time — not through a screen, but in person. Whether you’re already deep into software, product, data, design, or just tech-curious, this meetup is designed to make the community feel more accessible. You’ll leave with new connections, better questions, and a clearer sense of how other students are approaching their next step. About the Event Students in Tech Meetup is an in-person community gathering for students who want to connect around technology, careers, projects, and shared ambition. The focus is simple: bring students together in the same room so conversations can happen naturally, ideas can be exchanged openly, and people can meet peers they’ll actually want to stay in touch with. This is not a formal conference and it’s not meant to feel intimidating. Think of it as a structured but social meetup where the main value comes from the people in the room: students with different interests, skill levels, academic paths, and career goals, all connected by a common interest in tech. You do not need to arrive with a polished resume, a startup idea, or a perfect answer to “what do you want to do in tech?” This event makes space for students who are exploring as much as it does for students who already know their direction. Because it’s happening in person in Paris, the meetup also creates a local point of connection. If you’ve been wanting to build a stronger network in the city — not just online, but among actual peers you can meet again — this is a practical way to do it. What to Expect Expect a mix of casual networking, introductions, and real conversations about studying, working, and growing in tech. The format is built to help people talk to each other without forcing awkward interactions or making the evening feel overly programmed. The meetup may include moments like: A welcome and opening context so everyone understands the purpose of the evening Casual introductions that make it easier to meet people outside your usual circle Small-group conversations around topics like internships, classes, projects, tools, and career direction Peer networking with students from different schools, disciplines, and experience levels Open discussion where you can ask questions, share what you’re working on, or get perspective from others Some people will come to meet future collaborators. Others will come to learn how peers are getting internships, building side projects, or deciding between different paths in tech. Both approaches fit here. You can also expect a social atmosphere rather than a purely transactional one. This matters, because the best student communities are built when people can talk honestly, compare experiences, and connect without feeling like they’re in a high-pressure recruiting setting. Why Attend A lot of students interested in tech are working through the same questions at the same time: What should I build? Which skills matter most? How do I meet the right people? How do I get experience before I’ve already had experience? Meeting others who are asking similar questions can be genuinely useful. This meetup gives you access to something that is hard to get from courses, social platforms, or job boards alone: peer context. You get to hear how other students are navigating applications, choosing projects, learning new tools, and creating opportunities for themselves. You might leave with: New connections with students you can stay in touch with after the event Fresh perspective on internships, side projects, and career options in tech More confidence in where you are right now, even if you’re still figuring things out Potential collaborators for future projects, hackathons, study groups, or student initiatives A stronger sense of local community within Paris’s student tech scene There’s also real value in simply being in the room. Showing up helps you move from passive interest to active participation. Instead of only reading about opportunities or watching what others are doing, you become part of a network that can grow with you over time. Practical Details This meetup takes place in person in Paris, France on Tuesday, September 30 at 6:30 PM GMT+2. As an evening event, it’s well suited for students coming after classes, project work, or the end of the academic day. Because this is an in-person meetup, the experience is built around conversation, presence, and spontaneity. You’ll get more from it if you come ready to introduce yourself, ask a few questions, and stay open to talking with people outside your immediate field or school. A few useful ways to prepare: Bring your curiosity — you do not need to be an expert Be ready to describe your interests in a sentence or two Think about what you want to learn from other students in tech Come with an open mindset if you’re exploring new areas like software, product, design, AI, data, or startups If you’ve been meaning to meet more students in tech in Paris, this is a straightforward place to begin. Come to make connections, exchange ideas, and spend an evening with people who are building their path in the same space as you.
