Christiaanse-Taxateur — Bringing the Fiscal Career Fair Online
The Christiaanse-Taxateur (CT) association, the largest fiscal student organisation in the Netherlands, organises the annual Fiscal Career Fair to connect students with potential employers. When the event could no longer take place in person, the challenge was to recreate the experience online while keeping personal interaction at the heart of the day.

The challenge: recreate the Fiscal Career Fair online while keeping personal interaction central to every student-company connection.
From physical to digital networking
CT wanted a solution that would allow students and companies to meet one on one, host roundtable discussions and join workshops just as they would at a live fair. They partnered with Savvy Congress to develop an online environment that mirrored the physical event experience in both structure and energy.
Each student logged in to a personal dashboard showing their agenda, selected companies and meeting schedule. Every company had its own branded virtual room where representatives could manage their sessions, see who was present and interact directly with participants through video and chat. When it was time to switch sessions, a notification and a virtual 'gong' guided everyone to their next meeting.
House style and branding
The virtual rooms were fully styled according to each company's brand identity. Since personal connection with employers was central to the experience, company logos were prominently featured in the plenary space and rooms were named after participating firms, making it easy for students to navigate and find the right companies.
Company representatives could participate from home or office and had clear visibility of all participants and meeting schedules.
Savvy's digital solution
Savvy created a full service digital platform where personal interaction remained central to the experience.
- Custom online event platform designed for one-on-one and group sessions

The result
The online Fiscal Career Fair ran smoothly and was praised by both students and company representatives for its clarity, reliability and personal feel. Every participant could connect with multiple firms throughout the day in a structured and professional setting.
The partnership with Savvy Congress allowed CT to transform a traditionally in-person event into a fully digital experience without losing the essence of networking. The success of this edition set a new standard for future events within the association.
