In Novosibirsk today, the first Siberian StuDan was held by Yandex, which brought together a lot of students from several cities. Personally, I counted there, actually, Novosibirsk, Tomsk, Barnaul and Berdsk, maybe there was someone else, forgive me if I forgot. Muscovites already know what this event is, but in Siberia we saw it for the first time.
Speakers included such well-known Yandex as
Andrey Sebrant (director of service marketing), Ilya Segalovich (technical director), Sergey Pevtsov (head of anti-service), Dmitry Belyaev (multimedia search) and, naturally, Alexander Sadovsky (head of web search) which always attracts the most attention of the questioners. I did not have time to talk with the others, so I did not remember the names.
I will write a full report a little later, just returned, tired. For now - photo history with comments, agree? And at once I apologize for the quality: my hands are shaking and it is dark in the hall, and generally I am a programmer: 3

By the way, the hash tag on Twitter as usual was
#studen , you can read the message feed there.
Who wants, can look directly from

I tried to insert thumbnails, but still under the cut 2 megabytes of traffic. I warned you.

The beginning of the day. We are going, registering.

Many even wanted to have breakfast. Or just drink some coffee.

Sexual differentiation in the style of Yandex.

The puzzle, from the package of gifts, relished the girls. Well and everything else, to pass the time before the start.

DJ: 3

But here begins. Sebrant leaves with an introductory lecture and represents all Yandex.

And then shows the funny requests of one of the students. Pale.

Sebrant goes to play with the iPhone, but at this time Segalovich tears up the hall with his charisma and presentation style. Twitter messages appear that he looks like Grishkovets.

On stage, Sadowski with his first search report and robots. For those who don’t know what a search is at all, it’s interesting, the others are having fun on Twitter. After the report begins a wave of SEO-shnik at the microphone, which are pretty fun room with their questions like "and you have a relevant search?"

And at the break - in the buffet. By the way, there were already 3 such breaks.

Who does not eat, he listens. Answers to the most tricky questions. It was noticed that no one troll or "hit the sick." Most intelligently held conversations.

After the coffee break, Ilyusha Segalovich is back on the stage and interesting reports begin. The bulk of “those who came for a freebie” is gone, so now you can talk on the topic of search as a man.

Segalovich on the background of matan. Epic.

Dmitry Belyaev talks about the multimedia search for Yandex, and in particular about Yandex.Kartinki. A lot of jokes on the theme of “wet pussies”, “jaguar” and “porn”.

A living example of an ambiguous request for pictures.

Next is Sergey Pevtsov about spam defense and other “anti” Yandex services using the example of his school diary :)

Again Sebrant with the final presentation on the topic “how Yandex works from the inside”. Quite interesting. I wanted to work even more.

The day is over, the end. You can have a snack before leaving.
