Reach talent. Build an employer brand that moves.
Recruiting, employer branding, content and community: the Women Career Festival connects employers with women from across Germany – and with the initiatives, networks and decision-makers shaping professional change.
What makes the WCF different
More than a stand. More than one day.
The Women Career Festival does not begin when the venue opens or end when the stands come down. From February 2027, pre-events across Germany will be co-created by employers and relevant initiatives or networks.
Relevance, not product presentations
The smaller formats focus on topics that matter to women professionally and socially. Employers can connect with relevant audiences early in a credible, content-led setting and continue the relationship at the main event.
Communities help shape the festival
Initiatives, networks, associations and non-profit organisations participate free of charge. They advise visitors, contribute expertise to the programme and turn a recruiting fair into a platform for exchange and change.
Decision-makers belong in the conversation
The WCF deliberately includes CEOs, executive boards and decision-makers from business, politics, academia, media and institutions. Sustainable change needs the people who shape budgets, teams, programmes and structures.
Pre-Event-Journey
Four months for relationships, content and visibility.
The detailed journey is developed with participating employers and initiatives. The model creates several relevant touchpoints without pre-empting specific event content.
Deepen community connections
Further encounters and content build personal connections with relevant audiences.
Build visibility
Communication and activations carry the topics towards the main event.
Main event in Frankfurt
Expo, stages, masterclasses, initiatives and networking come together in one place.
Audience
Not only active jobseekers. Women with potential.
The WCF reaches women at different career and life stages. Many are not actively looking for a job, but are open to new employers, advancement opportunities, professional inspiration, networks or a change of direction.

planned impressions
Campaign reach from February to May.
Communication supports pre-events, speakers, initiatives, tracks and the main event over several months, creating significantly longer visibility than a single trade-show day.
Transparency note: approximately 5 million impressions and 3,000+ visitors are planning targets for the inaugural edition, not guaranteed delivery figures. Specific deliverables depend on the agreed participation package.Ways to participate
Matched to your objective, topic and team.
The specific format is developed in conversation. Not every employer needs the same presence – what matters is the audience and communication objective you want to reach.
Exhibitor presence
Personal recruiting and employer-branding conversations at the main event expo.
Content & stages
Content visibility within the editorially curated programme structure and tracks.
Pre-Events
Formats co-created with a relevant initiative in the run-up to the festival.
Partnerships
Extended brand and campaign integration throughout the WCF journey from February to May.
Substance behind the format
Relevant voices. Credible networks.
The first confirmed speakers and initiatives demonstrate the perspectives the WCF brings together. Further participants will be added once confirmed.

Questions & answers
What employers want to know up front.
Is the WCF a traditional recruiting fair?
No. Recruiting is central, but it is combined with employer branding, content-led tracks, initiatives, community formats and pre-events across Germany.
Who can employers reach at the WCF?
Women at different career and life stages – including students, graduates, professionals, leaders, career changers, returners and founders. Initiatives, networks and multipliers also take part.
Are 3,000+ visitors and 5 million impressions guaranteed?
No. Both figures are clearly stated as planning targets for the inaugural 2027 edition. Only the deliverables in the individually agreed participation package are binding.
Can employers help shape a pre-event?
Yes, depending on topic, timing and a relevant initiative. Formats are developed together and should enable genuine exchange – not simply a company presentation.
How can initiatives enquire about participation?
Initiatives and non-profit organisations do not use the HubSpot exhibitor form. They can email hello@womencareerfestival.de directly.
