Devexperts organises the first HackerX 2019 in Porto, on 9 May, at its headquarters in Porto, in the Peninsula Building.
HackerX provides not only the unique opportunity to meet with some of the world's most innovative companies and fastest growing startups, but also the largest invite-only networking and recruiting event for developers in the Globe. 

It literally is the event where developers meet. It is organised in a speed-dating recruitment format and companies have a chance to meet with future employees in 15 minutes slot interviews.

HackerX runs on 9 May, from 7pm until 10pm. Companies and developers must be at Devexperts at 6.30pm.

As sponsor of the event, Devexperts will provide for all the logistical and financial support for hosting the event.

The Devexperts development team is recognized as one of the world's best, having received in the past ten years more than 25 of the global software and financial industries most prestigious awards.

Devexperts specializes in the development of financial software solutions (of highly complex software solutions) for the Capital markets industry. The company employs over 300 developers, some of which are the world's best software development engineers, who have been participants and winners of global programming contests such as Topcoder and GoogleJam, Microsoft Azure VR Hackathon, International conference Tools and Methods of Program Analysis.

Besides this first HackerX event, Devexperts will start a cycle of debates themed "dxTechTalk" in Porto.

"Digital transformation implies that there is a "pool" of talent, which we have here in Porto, which is evermore attractive at international level. Events such as this should be emulated", states Paulo Pina Pires, Devexperts Country Director and CEO for Portugal.
