On the Board Stage, Schumacher discusses what companies can learn from Formula 1. The focus is on the high demands of an environment characterised by speed, precision and competition: How are the right decisions made under immense pressure? What sets high-performing teams apart? And how can quality and perfection be ensured in the long term?

Schumacher draws not only on his experience in international motor racing. As an entrepreneur, too, he has pioneered new business areas across various sectors and repeatedly set new standards. His talk thus offers a unique perspective on performance, team dynamics, entrepreneurial thinking and dealing constructively with pressure.

Since her professional debut in 2003, Angelique Kerber has been synonymous with discipline, mental strength and exceptional consistency at the very highest level. With her victories at the 2016 Australian Open and US Open, as well as at Wimbledon in 2018, she made German tennis history and became the first German to reach number one in the world rankings since Steffi Graf.

Today, Angelique Kerber is involved in various projects relating to sport, the development of young talent and personal development. Through the Angie Kerber Academy, she supports young talents in combining sporting achievement with values such as fairness, team spirit and resilience.

At the WW – Work Culture Festival, she brings her experience from elite sport to discussions on performance, personal development and sustainable success.

With offices in Berlin, London, Hong Kong and Beijing, Ole Scheeren Architects develops projects worldwide that redefine the relationship between architecture, urban life and social interaction. Among its best-known works are The Interlace and the DUO Towers in Singapore, MahaNakhon in Bangkok and the Guardian Art Centre in Beijing. Current projects include Tencent Helix, the technology group’s new global headquarters in Shenzhen, and The Axiom in Shanghai.

At the heart of Scheeren’s work is the question of how architecture can enable new forms of living and collaboration in cities. His large-scale designs demonstrate how spaces can actively foster cultural cohesion, a shared identity and inclusive collaboration.

Ole Scheeren will speak at the WW – Work Culture Festival on 29 October 2026 at 12:00, sharing his international perspective on architecture, urbanity and the design of future living and working spaces.

The programme focuses on topics that shape the world of offices and work – ranging from office technology, office supplies and office furnishings to IT and AV solutions, as well as artificial intelligence, health, wellbeing and design. 

Through this partnership, wll.news complements the festival by offering a practical perspective from the office sector and fosters discussion on key issues facing a changing world of work.

The Wherever Whenever – Work Culture Festival is not a traditional conference. It is a place where genuine exchange takes place. Across multiple stages, in workshops and in interactive spatial concepts, you will discover practical solutions, new ideas and approaches that can be put into practice straight away. Installations and prototype working environments demonstrate how work is already being conceived and implemented differently today.
