About Event

​It's time to break free from the mold. The Omek Talent Day is all about aligning your career with who you truly are—not fitting into someone else’s idea of success. Join us online for a day of inspiration, conversation, and opportunities to connect with brands and community members that are reimagining the future of work.

​Whether you're able to drop in for a specific session or join for the whole day, you’ll walk away with insights and connections that resonate with you and your career goals.

​What to Expect:

  • ​Real stories from Omek community members who’ve turned their passions into purpose-driven careers.

  • ​Interactive conversations with representatives from global brands like Nike, Van Lanschot Kempen, Deckers & Brands (UGG, HOKA, Teva), McKinsey & Company, and VF Corporation (The North Face, Vans, Timberland)

  • ​No full-day commitment needed—drop in and out as it fits your schedule.

  • ​Inspiration to rethink work and align your career with your values, identity, and goals.

  • ​Opportunities to ask your burning questions during Ask-Me-Anything sessions and breakout rooms.

  • ​Connection with like-minded professionals looking to redefine success in their careers.
