Come to Rainbow Day in Hamburg

We look forward to seeing you on 03.12.2025

As a port city, cosmopolitanism has long been part of Hamburg's DNA.

The variety of queer offers and events is spread across the entire city of Hamburg. And this year, a new format will be added: Rainbow Day!

Companies present themselves here as regional employers and show why they see diversity in the company as an essential part of the corporate culture and are very happy to talk to interested visitors from the queer community (and all those for whom diversity is important).

Conversely, everyone who attends Rainbow Day learns how authentic a company is and whether their own personality is reflected in this company. Regardless of industry or general area of expertise!

The Rainbow-Day Hamburg will be extended by a supporting program, which invites to exchange, dialogue, get to know each other and network beyond career talks.

The details of the exciting supporting program are now online!

Details on Rainbow Day in Hamburg

The Curiohaus is available as an event location. Easily accessible, right next to the University of Hamburg and an ideal venue for trade fair discussions in a relaxed atmosphere.

The Rainbow-Day Hamburg will take place on 09.07.2024 from 12:00 - 18:00.

The exhibitors of the individual events and their company profiles will be published on the website in good time before the Rainbow Days. Who is looking for which specialist area?

The Rainbow Days have a very important focus in terms of content, because they are about people and the particular characteristics of their own personality. At the same time, companies are often looking for new employees within their sectors, e.g. a law firm for legal and tax advice or a software company for programming.

The larger the companies are, the broader their applications are and therefore also the opportunities to seize my chances within my own form of training.

We therefore recommend that everyone take a look at the company profiles in advance of the events and thus prepare for an exchange.

Exchange meets knowledge meets networking

Rainbow Day Hamburg is also more than just a career fair with stand talks, even if these are very colorful and helpful. With our content-rich supporting program, we also offer interested participants who are not currently interested in a career (re)orientation an exciting option to gain knowledge, exchange ideas and expand their own network.

Keynote and Q&A with Johann Gleich & Liam Michelle Seifert, LinkedIn
Learn how I brought my personal professional story to life and benefit from it: whether you are still at the very beginning or where you want to go.

We will share with you tangible tips on how I optimized my profile to build a strong network and give you best practices for content to increase your visibility in your professional life.

Moderation: Queer Networking

Rainbow-colored logos during Pride Month or colorful marketing campaigns by companies are increasingly suspected of being "rainbow-washing". We talk to independent experts and company representatives about how I, as a queer person looking for a job, can tell whether a potential employer is really queer-friendly.

The guests:

- Kirstin Hahne, Diversity Manager bonprix
- Kornelia Liebert, Wirtschaftsweiber Hamburg
- Sebastian Krug, Founder & CEO Rainbow Day
- Juli Avemark (she/none), "READ" anti-discrimination advice center

The Rainbow Union North Network is a platform that brings together queer and DEI (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion) ambassadors from various companies and organizations in northern Germany. Our goal is to strengthen the community and the exchange between these committed individuals and to promote cooperation across company boundaries. Together, we want to create a basis for future collaboration through topic-based discussions and inspiring insights - because we believe that we are stronger together!
