On January 21st, companies, universities and applicants will meet in Darmstadt – Mayor Hanno Benz will be the patron
Following the successful launch at the beginning of the year, the AgenDA job fair is entering its second round: On January 21, 2027, the Luisencenter in the heart of Darmstadt will once again become a meeting place for people looking for training, studies and career prospects, as well as for companies and institutions from Darmstadt and southern Hesse.
Under the motto "AgenDA – Education, Studies and Careers in Darmstadt and Southern Hesse," numerous employers, universities, institutions, and organizations will be presenting themselves. The focus will be on personal conversations, specific job and training opportunities, and insights into various career fields. The fair is open to the public and is expressly aimed at people who simply want to learn about their career options without obligation.
Mayor Benz as patron
The job fair is organized by UDVM Ulrich Diehl Verlags- und Medienservice GmbH and Noack media production GbR. Darmstadt's Mayor Hanno Benz (SPD) has assumed patronage. Citymarketing Darmstadt also supports the fair. The deliberate choice of a location in the heart of the city center is intended to make the fair as accessible as possible for diverse target groups.
The Luisencenter offers ideal conditions for this: With around 45,000 visitors daily, approximately 16,000 square meters of retail space, and more than 60 shops, it is one of the busiest locations in southern Hesse. Its central location on Luisenplatz ensures short distances and high visibility in everyday city life.
At the first AgenDA in February 2026, exhibitors included the German Armed Forces, the Protestant University of Applied Sciences Darmstadt, the Frankfurt am Main Higher Finance Directorate, the German Pension Insurance, the Bormuth bakery, HIM/Indaver and the City of Science Darmstadt.
Experience and media reach
Behind AgenDA is an experienced team of event organizers. UDVM has many years of experience in organizing trade fairs, industry events, and high-profile formats, as well as extensive regional media and marketing networks. Noack media production contributes, among other things, experience from organizing the Jobrotation apprenticeship fair in Frankfurt am Main in August 2026.
For exhibiting companies, AgenDA combines personal contacts with additional media visibility. The communication package includes job postings on DA.news, a feature in the official trade fair newspaper, an editorial article in M-Magazine, and a 30-second job video for free use. This allows exhibitors to promote their offerings not only on the day of the fair, but also in the lead-up and post-fair coverage. The event will also be advertised on HEAG mobilo buses.
AgenDA is aimed, among others, at school leavers, students, skilled workers, career changers and people undergoing career reorientation.
