We think more people should see them.

the idea

From the beginning, FOMO has been about bringing humans into the spotlight: their stories, their success, their mess-ups, their expertise, and the journeys that shaped them. We’ve seen how powerful it is when someone’s work, perspective and experience are given the attention they deserve.

Now, we want to open that space a little wider. To people who have built something, learned something, helped others, shaped a community, mastered a craft, or simply have a perspective worth hearing.

This is an invitation to be seen for what you bring.
For your work. Your experience. Your expertise. Your ideas.
And for the things you’ve done that deserve more recognition. Be seen!

In a world of infinite outputs, our humanity becomes our signature.

what you bring deserves to be seen

You might bring a skill you use every day, an idea you’ve been sitting on, a community you care about, or simply the energy to make something happen.

At FOMO, what you bring doesn’t stay behind the scenes. We give it a place, a platform and an audience. It can become a campaign people see, an experience people remember, a conversation that gets started, or an idea that reaches people it otherwise wouldn’t.

Your work becomes part of FOMO. More people see it, and see YOU behind it.

four ways to be part of it

Choose how you want to show up at FOMO 2027. With your skills, your ideas or your community and give more people the chance to see what you can do.

Leave a mark

Become a Contributor

Bring your skills into the part of FOMO where they fit best. From copywriting, design and social media to communication & PR, project management, production, marketing or strategy. Your contribution becomes part of something people see, experience and remember, with your name attached to it.

Grow the world

Become an Ambassador

Bring FOMO into the communities, networks and circles you already care about. As an Ambassador, you don’t stay behind the scenes. Your name, your voice and your role become visible within FOMO so people can see who you are, what you stand for, and the community you bring with you.

Learn by doing

Come as an Intern

Work alongside the FOMO team on real tasks and real responsibilities from marketing, communication and content to production, project management, hospitality and logistics. You’ll have the chance to do real work, show what you’re capable of, and be recognized for the part you played in making FOMO happen.

Build something people can see

Own a special project

Take ownership of a clear project and bring it to life from idea to execution. This could be video content, an activation, a product, a campaign, an experience, a service, an application, or something entirely new. You lead it, shape it, and put your name behind it.

is this for you

If you want your work, ideas or skills to be seen, and you’re ready to put them into something real, there’s probably a place for you here.

This is for you if:

  • You want to put your work in front of the right people and be recognized for what you do.
  • You have skills, experience or ideas you want to turn into something visible and real.
  • You want your contribution to have your name on it, not disappear behind the scenes.
  • You’re ready to work with a fast-moving team and show what you can do in practice.
  • You want to build a stronger portfolio, meet people who may open new doors, and grow your network.
  • You want to leave FOMO with something tangible: work you can show, experience you can talk about, and recognition you can carry forward.

Maybe not right now if:

  • You’re mainly looking for a paid, full-time role rather than a project where visibility, experience and ownership are part of the value.
  • You don’t currently have the time or energy to actively contribute.
  • You’d rather observe than build, create, connect or take responsibility for something.
  • You’re looking for a fully structured role where everything is already mapped out.
  • You want the recognition, but not the responsibility that comes with earning it.
  • You’re not looking to put your name, work or ideas out there right now.

behind the stage

The people, the process and the beautiful mess behind. It takes a lot of humans to make this happen, and some of the best parts start with someone simply deciding to contribute.

This year, FOMO is a place for you to be seen

We’re creating a space that goes beyond the stages. A place to contribute, create, learn, and be seen for what you bring. Your ideas, skills, perspective and experience can become part of FOMO itself. Not hidden in the background, but visible in the work, the stories, the projects and the experiences people remember.

Your perspective. Your judgment. Your creativity. Your experience. Your imperfections.
You bring them. We make sure people know who’s behind the work.

Because in a world of infinite outputs, our humanity becomes our signature.

Robert Co-Founder of FOMO

Robert Graur
Cofounder & Creative Director

I've always resisted calling FOMO "an event".

From the beginning, the interesting part about FOMO was the people. The ones with something worth sharing. People who built something, failed at something, figured something out, changed their minds, started again, or simply knew something the rest of us could learn from. For the past two editions, we've put hundreds of those people on our stages.

For 2027, I want to open that idea wider.

Not just to speakers, to the people building, creating, connecting, organizing, experimenting and making things happen behind the scenes too.

Maybe you're a designer. A copywriter. A filmmaker. A project manager. Maybe you know how to bring people together. Maybe you've built a community. Maybe you're just starting out and want a place to show yourself and what you can do.

The idea is simple: bring something that's yours. Your skill, your perspective, your experience, your energy, and we'll give it a place to be seen. Not just the finished work, but you, behind it.

I want FOMO to become a place where people discover not only ideas, but also the humans who make those ideas happen.

So consider this my invitation: bring us what you're good at, what you care about, or what you want the world to see more of.
Get involved and be seen.

questions

A few answers before you apply.

Is this a job?
Not exactly. These are contributor roles around FOMO 2027. They’re built around experience, visible work, access to the team and network, portfolio value, and festival perks.
Do I need to have worked on a festival or conference before?
Not really, but could help. Roles are suited to people with experience, others are designed for people who want to learn by doing. What matters more is what you can bring and how involved you want to be.
How much time do I need to commit?
It depends, but this is meant to be an ongoing contribution, not something you only show up for during festival week. Depending on our collaboration, you should be able to give consistent hours per week and be part of the process.
Can I contribute if I already have a full-time job?
Yes, as long as you realistically have the time and energy for it. The whole idea is to find a way of contributing that fits where you are right now.
What kind of skills are suitable?
A wide range: copywriting, design, social media, communication & PR, project management, production, marketing, strategy, hospitality, logistics, filming, editing, activations, products, services, applications, community building and more.
What if my skill isn’t on the list?
Apply anyway. Some of the most useful contributions are the ones we didn’t think to list. If you have something specific you’re good at, we want to hear about it.
Can I come with my own idea or project?
Yes. One of the ways to join is by taking ownership of a standalone project and bringing it from idea to execution.
What happens after I apply?
You fill in a short form, we have a quick call, we get to know each other, and if there’s a good match, we connect you with a project or team and get started.
Do I need to be based in the same city?
Not necessarily. Some contributions can start remotely, while others will naturally need you closer to the festival as it approaches. The exact setup depends on the role. On the other hand, for some roles it needs to be hands on at the event. But, hey, you don’t wanna miss it anyway.
Will I get credit for my work?
Yes. Visible credit, portfolio-worthy work and recognition for your contribution are part of the value of the contributor roles. Mentions on the dedicated page on our website, social media presentation and, at the end a case study with your work.
What if I’m not sure which role fits me?
That’s fine. Pick the one that feels closest, and we can figure out the best fit during the conversation.
Can I just volunteer during the festival days?
This campaign is more about contributing to the making of FOMO, not only helping on the day. Some roles may be closer to the event itself, but most involve being part of the process long before the event.
What do I actually get out of it?
Visible work, experience, new relationships, access to the FOMO network, portfolio material, and a closer look at how a large-scale event gets built from the inside.
What if I apply and it’s not a match?
No drama. The point is to find a place where what you bring is actually useful. If there isn’t one right now, that’s better to know than forcing a fit.
Is this a recruitment campaign?
No. This is not a recruitment campaign. We’re curating professionals and emerging talent from different fields, giving them a space to contribute to FOMO 2027, do meaningful work, and be seen for what they’re good at. It’s about visibility, experience, collaboration, and connecting great people with the right projects and network.
