NWX23 revolves around these and many other questions. The goal is to bring together career starters and experienced employees, doers and thought leaders as well as strategists and experts from business and politics, human resources, recruiting, consulting and opinion forming in Hamburg. A diverse mix of forward-looking impulses, opinionated debates, in-depth workshops and master classes will provide inspiration and information.

Among the speakers will be 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 and AI expert Christian Piechnick, and many more. Additional music acts such as the Norwegian pop-rap duo Madcon will ensure a good mood.

The XING Job World: new job festival all about starting a career

For the first time, NWX23 will be expanded to include a job festival for students and graduates: the XING Job World, which will take place in the New Work Harbour in HafenCity, the headquarters of New Work SE.

The XING Job World will also feature top-class master classes and workshops with renowned career and application coaches such as Dr. Bernd Slaghuis and Nane Nebel. The diverse program will be supplemented by lectures and panel discussions, e.g. with the two former professional soccer players Neven Subotic and Marcell Jansen or GenZ expert Ronja Ebeling. In the "Grill den Personalchef" format, SAP HR director Cawa Younosi and Beiersdorf HR director Nicola Lafrentz will also be taking questions from the audience. For enrolled students, a visit to the XING Job World, including a job application photo shoot, is free of charge.
