Hosting events in Campinas
Campinas is a research and tech node that is not São Paulo — and that is the pitch. Campus and corporate audiences want local nights without a capital-city commute.
Where the scene lives
- Cambuí — after-work socials and dinners.
- Unicamp edge — talks, hackathons, and student-public events.
- Barão Geraldo — campus-adjacent recurring formats.
- Corporate north corridors — industry mixers near the offices.
What works in Campinas
- Campus RSVPs matter. Students and researchers need clear agendas.
- Not-SP framing helps. Local convenience is the benefit.
- Tech and deep-tech niches. Lean into Unicamp-adjacent strengths.
- Weeknights over weekends. SP trips own many Saturdays.
