D&D intro night

Dungeons & Dragons, or D&D, is a storytelling game where players step into the shoes of their characters and embark on adventures crafted by the Dungeon Master. These adventures can vary widely but often involve problem-solving, social interactions, and battling monsters.

Now is a great opportunity to dive into the magical world of D&D. This intro night is designed for beginners, so no prior experience with tabletop role-playing games is needed!

The schedule for the evening is as follows:
16:30 Doors open, and character creation begins. If you can’t make it by this time, no worries—you can play with a pre-made character.
17:30 The adventure begins. Please arrive by this time.
~21:30-22:00 The story (hopefully) concludes happily, and the game ends. Afterwards, those interested can stay and chat about D&D.
~22:00 Time to head home and look forward to the next D&D session.

You’ll want to bring your own pencil, eraser, and a touch of imagination. There will be at least two simultaneous games, one in Finnish and one in English. There’s only a limited number of spots at the table, so sign up quickly

Nitor Excursion

Hi there! We at Nitor are happy to welcome you to our “Consulting simulation” excursion!

So, what do we mean by Consulting simulation? As many consultancy companies offer great opportunities, we’d like to simulate consultant work in more detail for you. We have created a few workshops about, for example, code reviews, logical problem solving and complex customer situations.

As you probably know, we are a Digital Engineering Company and value sustainable digital development which keeps pace with time. We understand the toughness of the consultancy business and have given real thought to the solutions so that our consultants can live out their fulfilled careers as happy digital engineers.

Nitor provides food, beverages, our office located in Helsinki city centre, and of course, you have a chance to get to know our people. We will start with food service, continue with workshops and end our excursion with quality time together with Nitoreans.
