The OMR Festival: The Event That Draws 50K Marketing And Digital Pros

The numbers read impressively on their own: 50,000 in attendance, 1500 CMOs, 5000 brands, 400 exhibitors and 300 speakers. Dig a little deeper, however, and the raw numbers are truly remarkable. We’re talking about an event that launched eight years ago to little fanfare; a one-day conference that drew 200 people held in a standard issue lecture hall at a Hamburg university; a get together that was so far removed from the major industry events like dmexco and Web Summit, that the comparison would have been laughable.

We’re talking about the OMR Festival, held every year in Hamburg, Germany.

The event is now a two-day affair—part trade fair (called the Expo), part keynote conference—amplified and jacked up to 1000. For every one of the industry exhibitors, like Adobe, Google, Facebook and the like, you have a travelling orchestra serenading the audience as it winds its way through the Expo halls; for every one of the 400 speakers on the Expo or Conference stages, you have a slew of Masterclass seminars, Guided Tours and Side Events—think bookable events for brands who want to get some valuable sit-down time with a handpicked audience. There is a lot to process: energy, inspiration, attitude, insights and content on every corner.

Here are a few of the biggest tech-focused exhibitors coming to Hamburg this year:
