In my role as University Partnership Manager, I would like to sincerely thank everyone who made this special evening possible through their commitment, time, and trust. 🙏

Two weeks ago, we had the pleasure of hosting our first Global Talent Career Festival Kick-off Night at RheinRiff in Düsseldorf – an evening that was not only a great organizational success, but also a personal highlight for me. 🎉

With around 280 participants and 10 inclusive companies, we created a platform that enabled meaningful exchange between talents, universities, and companies, and sparked many valuable connections. 🤝🌐

A very special thank you goes to our partner WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management, who supported us in many ways from the very beginning and played a key role in making this evening such a success. I would also like to highlight the incredible support from Diversity at WHU, whose dedication and voluntary commitment helped shape and build this festival in every phase. 💙

We are equally grateful for the contribution of our other partners and supporters – especially Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg, whose smart idea of organizing a shuttle bus made getting to the festival much easier 🚌, as well as Universität Witten/Herdecke, CBS International Business School, all of whom played an important role in making this evening so impactful. ✨

To me, this evening clearly showed how much can happen when the right people come together, exchange ideas, and support each other. That is exactly what we want to continue building on and growing. 💡

I’m already looking forward to the next festival – and to seeing both familiar and new faces there. 😊
