Today, HR encompasses far more than just recruiting and talent development. Topics such as hybrid collaboration, corporate culture, employee experience, AI, leadership, and the expectations of different generations are fundamentally transforming the world of work. This is precisely where the Wherever Whenever – Work Culture Festival at ORGATEC 2026 in Cologne comes in.

The festival brings together international experts from HR, workplace design, architecture, technology, and business leadership to discuss new perspectives on modern work. Renowned speakers such as Prof. Miriam Meckel, Dr. Peggie Rothe, and Dr. Guzmán de Yarza Blache will discuss cultural transformation, new work environments, digital technologies, and how companies can sustainably connect people, spaces, and collaboration.

For HR professionals, the festival offers concrete insights into employer branding, corporate culture, employee retention, leadership, and the design of modern work environments.
