Student badgeholders : good conduct at the Mifa

As future professionals, the Mifa is an absolute must-stop during the Annecy Festival week.

It provides a working environment that is conducive to professional networking and finding career opportunities.

To guarantee optimal working and networking conditions for you and the professionals, take a look at the following guidelines :

Before you arrive

Identify the studios and companies that you are interested in and make sure that your profile fits their needs and expectations. Take a look at the stand layout to see who will be coming (available to download late May).
Find out what they do and what they're looking for (LinkedIn, website and social media).
Prepare your portfolio (paper or digital). Be aware of potential network or data usage issues on site.

On site, prioritise quality over quantity.

For a successful professional exchange, we encourage you to:

Be clear, concise and a good listener,
Respect the time and availability of professionals; you can always drop by again later in the day,
Not to disturb meetings in progress and to respect the confidentiality of discussions.

Not all exhibitors are recruiting, and not everyone is available to go into deep discussions. Please be sure to check with them first !

As an accredited student, you are also representing your school; please ensure you behave in a professional and respectful manner towards the studios and companies in attendance.

Find out more here about the Students accreditation and access to the Mifa.

Failure to adhere to these recommendations could result in students being denied access to the Mifa's Exhibition Area in 2027 and in the future.
