D-Dagen History
The term ”D-Dagen” was coined as early as the year 2000, when it was the Computer Science Chapter’s industry-day with 13 attending companies in the E-building on KTH Campus. Since then, D-Dagen has grown and in 2016 it entered the student union building, Nymble. Now D-Dagen is considered to be the largest career fair in the Nordics for Computer Science students, as well as one of the largest career fairs at KTH.

D-Dagen 2001
During the 2000 to 2010 period, companies’ interest in being visible to students increased significantly. As a result, the Computer Science Chapter’s career fair became a recurring event and took on a more uniform form and structure. At that time, it was coordinated by the Chapter’s “PR group,” which later evolved into the “Näringslivsgruppen” (Industry Relations Group). In early 2001, D-Dagen appears for the first time in the Chapter’s official meeting protocols, when then PR Manager Peter Lindström submitted a motion to “get more money for D-Dagen and for upcoming events in the spring.” The Chapter’s members unanimously approved his proposal.
D-Dagen 2000
The name “D-Dagen” was coined this year! The career fair was organized by the Computer Science Chapter’s ”PR group” and was a smaller event held in the E-building (E-huset), with 13 participating companies. In the evening, attendees were also invited to the Chapter’s former premises, ESCapen, where one could get free beer if they had secured a “ölbånge” (beer token) during the career fair.
