Day 1 of Touch RGB – a digital design festival full of bold ideas, inspiring talks and creative energy
From visual storytelling to future-focused design, creators came together to share, connect and push boundaries. #TouchRGB #digitaldesign #designfestival
Forward Festival founder @othmarhandl is taking the stage at @touch_ge this weekend in Tbilisi ⭐️
At the heart of his talk, is Forward's vision of turning ideas into action and how the best idea alone isn’t enough – acting on it, experimenting, failing, collaborating, and building the skills to bring it to life is what makes the difference.
Catch Othmar's talk on Friday, April 3 at 11:40 & come say hi if you're around ❤️

Only a few days left until Forward Festival Berlin! I’m super excited to take over the iconic @hkw_berlin on 28.-29. August once again for two days packed with creativity, exchange, and celebration.
We’ve got 50+ international top creatives lined up, thought-provoking talks, hands-on workshops, side events and so much more. There are still a handful of tickets left, so get them while you can!
This year feels extra special: with our refined vision “turn ideas into action”, we want to empower creatives not just to dream big, but to actually bring those ideas to life. In that spirit, we also gave Forward a fresh new home online with our new website earlier this year - check it out if you haven’t yet!
I can’t wait to kick off this new season together with you all!

„Es braucht Leute, die sich trauen, anders zu sein und anzuecken.“
Das Forward Festival – DER Treffpunkt für kreative Köpfe und Branchenprofis – geht in Berlin und Wien in die nächste Runde. Wir haben Othmar Handl getroffen, der die Wiener Branding-Agentur @forwardcreatives leitet und vor zehn Jahren das @forwardfestivals gegründet hat.
Wie er es schafft, dass niemand nach dem fünften Frontalvortrag abschaltet, wie man Festival, Unternehmen und Kind unter einen Hut bringt – und welches Standing Wien heute in der internationalen Kreativszene hat, erzählt er im Interview.

In this episode of Founders Meeting, Helga sits down with Othmar Handl — founder of Forward Festival — to talk about what it really means to build a creative movement that lasts.
From burning CDs to building one of Europe’s most respected creative conferences, Othmar shares the raw truth behind making ideas happen — and keeping them alive.
We cover:
Why creativity is still your sharpest business edge
Building community through in-person experiences
How Forward Festival adapted (and thrived) through COVID
The balance between vision, strategy, and instinct
Why human connection is still everything
This one’s for the founders, creatives, and community builders playing the long game.

🇳🇱I am super excited for Forward making its debut in Amsterdam tomorrow.
HUGE thanks to my team and the our amazing speakers for making this happen - for two days we’re going to take over ITA Amsterdam to inspire and bringing the who-is-who of the creative scene together.
