OMR 5050: Present on all stages of the OMR Festival
Equality, diversity and inclusion have long been among the central challenges for companies and society. At the OMR Festival on May 5th and 6th, 2026 in Hamburg, these topics will not be treated in isolation, but will be part of the entire program. OMR 5050 is therefore represented on various stages and consciously focuses on visibility across the entire audience.
In keynotes, panels and interviews, perspectives on topics such as news fluencing, mental health, female finance and social media dynamics will be discussed. The focus is on the question of what role equality plays in a rapidly changing digital and economic reality. All OMR 5050 stage slots on both days will be presented by Lexware – a company committed to equal opportunities and supporting diverse founding teams.
