Festival for work and the future NWX23 presents a diverse program

The New Work Experience 2023, or NWX23 for short, is just a few weeks away. Under the motto "Work Forward," the festival for work and the future, which claims to be the most renowned in the German-speaking world, will be held for the sixth time on June 14 in Hamburg. The event has adopted a new concept. This year, visitors can look forward to around 9 hours of programming spread across 18 stages and more than 100 renowned national and international speakers and artists. Among them are generation expert Dr. Eliza Filby, Germany's youngest philosophy professor Dr. Markus Gabriel, long-time Speaker of the House of Commons John Bercow, former professional soccer player and DFB coach Steffi Jones, digital expert and author Sascha Lobo, podcaster Matze Hielscher as well as AI expert Christian Piechnick and many more. Diverse music acts such as the Norwegian pop-rap duo Madcon complement the festival on the Elbe.

NWX23 is dedicated to the changing world of work

With NWX23, New Work SE, together with its brands XING, onlyfy by XING and kununu, will bring together career starters and experienced employees, managers and thought leaders, strategists and experts, from business and politics, human resources, recruiting and innovation, as well as consulting and opinion forming in Hamburg in June 2023. Participants can expect a varied program consisting of keynote speeches, debates, workshops and master classes. There will be answers to the questions of what needs to change in the individual in order for change to occur, how collaboration can succeed across different generations in times of upheaval, or how employers can win over workers despite the shortage of skilled labor and inspire them to embrace corporate change. In addition, there will be impulses on modern leadership culture and, with a look into the future, the influence of technologies such as artificial intelligence on various industries and occupational groups, as well as which new types of skills will be needed in the future and which have become obsolete.

Job festival for young talent

Parallel to the conference in the Elbphilharmonie, NWX23 is being expanded for the first time to include a job festival for students and graduates: the XING Job World. On June 14, students, graduates, recruiters and company representatives will experience a new kind of job fair in the so-called "New Work Harbour", currently probably the most modern office building in Germany. As part of the all-day fair at the New Work SE premises, employers will have the opportunity to pitch vacancies to students and graduates and get them interested in their own company directly on site. At the XING Job World, the focus is on getting started in professional life: the search for the right job, the first salary interview and the job interview. Throughout the day, top-class master classes and workshops will be held with renowned career and application coaches such as Bernd Slaghuis and Nane Nebel. The program is supplemented by exciting lectures and panel discussions, e.g. with the two former professional soccer players Neven Subotic and Marcell Jansen or the GenZ expert Ronja Ebeling. In the "Grill den Personalchef" format, SAP's Head of Human Resources Cawa Younosi will also be taking questions from the audience. Attendance at the XING Job World is free of charge for enrolled students.

NWX23 - especially for recruiting

This year, for the first time, the New Work Experience will also offer additional program content tailored specifically to the needs and key topics of recruiters and HR managers, organized by the recruiting brand onlyfy by XING. In the New Work Harbour and on other stages in Hamburg's HafenCity, various presentations, master classes, panel discussions and workshops await the HR scene on June 14, including from and with Professor Dr. Alexander Spermann, Professor Dr. Heike Bruch or Recruiting, Diversity and Inclusion Partner at idealo Gazelle Vollhase. Current developments in the labor market will be analyzed, the exchange of ideas on new benefits such as the 4-day week, workation or hybrid work models will be promoted, and new possibilities for recruiting, e.g. with the help of AI, will be discussed, as well as exciting formats on employer branding and active sourcing.

The New Work Award 2023

For the 10th time in a row, the New Work Award, the prize for forward-looking work in the German-speaking world, will also be presented this year.
