Our diverse exhibition program about equal opportunities and diversity of opportunities is one of the reasons why around 8,000 people from all over Germany and neighboring countries come to herCAREER Expo every year.

Types of content participation:

  1. Lecture in the Auditorium
  2. Talks, MeetUps, and Labs (Career MeetUps, Expert MeetUps, Job-Offer Talks, Future Talks, Innovation Labs)

Regardless of the format you choose a prerequisite for your participation is that you have booked a space with us and are thus officially participating as an exhibitor at the herCAREER Expo.


Lecture in the Auditorium: the big stage

Lectures in our auditoriums are the largest participation formats: You can give a 20-minute talk or host a 40-minute discussion in front of 60 to 70 attendees.

For a lecture, we recommend featuring an inspiring woman (role model) from your company or institution who shares insights into her career journey, addresses labor market, social, or scientific topics, and encourages others to take an active role in shaping their own career paths.

These authentic insights are highly valuable and help create a lasting connection with your audience.

Important Note for You: Due to exceptionally high demand and the limited number of slots, your company (provided you are already registered as an exhibitor) can apply for a lecture slot with us until March 15. When submitting your application, be sure to highlight diversity characteristics, the speaker’s professional expertise, and the ability to provide the audience with specific tips and actionable recommendations.


Talks, MeetUps, and Labs: focused exchange

In these formats, we deliberately avoid large stages and presentations. The focus here is entirely on interaction in small groups and networking. These formats are particularly appreciated by visitors because questions can be addressed directly, and participants can interact personally with your employees.

A total of five formats are available to you:

  • Career MeetUps
  • Expert MeetUps
  • Job-Offer Talks
  • Future Talks
  • Innovation Labs

All talks, MeetUps, and Labs run in 45-minute sessions with up to 12 participants, either in designated special areas or at your own stand. We recommend to use of technology in these sessions.

Visitors can join these formats without prior registration on a “first come, first served” basis.

What content should be covered?

All of these formats are designed to highlight women from your company. It is essential to emphasize their expertise rather than their gender. Avoid topics such as “Female Leadership” or “Women in Tech.” Instead, let women from diverse areas share their professional knowledge. This is the most effective way to attract other women who are genuinely interested in your company.

Also, consider in advance which stories and topics will be relevant for your audience. Share professional insights and concrete learnings that participants can apply on-site.

Company presentations and promotional activities not only take time but also provide little direct benefit to expo visitors.
