katapult Spires

The Katapult Expo is an annual trade fair dedicated to careers, education, and personal development. It takes place at the centrally located and easily accessible Stadthalle Speyer. Whether it’s vocational training, university studies, continuing education, or a career change – Katapult serves as a powerful catalyst for the next step in your professional journey.

Organised by Red Braid Marketing GmbH, Katapult combines strong regional roots with nationwide relevance. As part of a successful series of events held at various locations across Germany, the expo is known for its practical, hands-on, and interactive approach. In Speyer – a historic cathedral city with a well-established educational and economic network in Rhineland-Palatinate – Katapult has become a permanent fixture in the regional event calendar, attracting a diverse audience.

At the heart of the expo are forward-looking topics such as career and educational pathways, vocational training and further education, dual study programmes, internships, trainee opportunities, and career prospects for all generations – from students to the 50+ workforce. A particular highlight is the “Regional Lounge”, where local employers, craft businesses, and small to medium-sized enterprises showcase their training and entry-level opportunities. This makes the expo a valuable platform connecting emerging talent with the regional economy.

Exhibitors from a wide range of sectors – including industry, trade, crafts, IT, public administration, social services, as well as universities, chambers, educational institutions, and organisations – offer insights into their fields and present concrete opportunities for training, study, and employment. For visitors, this means direct access to decision-makers, personal conversations, first-hand information, and real opportunities for career orientation and advancement.

Interactive formats such as application training sessions, career coaching, and expert talks provide hands-on advice on how to position yourself professionally – another key highlight of the event.

Katapult is aimed at students, university attendees, parents, career changers, and experienced professionals – in short: anyone planning the next step in their career. The combination of relevant content, strong regional ties, national visibility, and a clear focus on career opportunities, networking, and lifelong learning makes Katapult a trade fair with genuine added value.

The Stadthalle Speyer is conveniently located – just a few minutes’ walk from the main train station and easily accessible via the A61 and B9 motorways. Visitors can look forward to a modern venue in a vibrant city that blends historical charm with economic dynamism – the perfect setting for an inspiring expo experience.

The katapult will take place on Saturday, 22. November 2025 in Spires.
