Jasmin Wölke moderates corporate events, townhalls and annual kick-offs in Graz, in English and in German. The event moderator is based in Ludwigsburg near Stuttgart and arrives the day before any Graz engagement.
When development, production and construction sites come together
Graz runs on project business. In powertrain development and testing technology, teams work in customer projects with their own milestones. Vehicle production follows the rhythm of shifts. Plant engineering has its people on construction sites and commissioning jobs around the world. A corporate event is often the only date when all of these worlds sit in the same room at the same time. And it is the date when the workforce wants to hear how things will continue: with the project pipeline, with the transformation of mobility, with their own site. In front of such an audience, a showy host style falls flat. Engineers and skilled workers ask precise questions and expect precise answers. The moderation has to understand the programme, and it has to translate messages so that they land on the shop floor just as well as in the development office.
How Jasmin works in Graz
Everything starts with a briefing on goals, messages, sensitive topics and language shares. From this she builds a running order that connects speeches, interviews and Q&A rounds, with buffers exactly where they are needed. On stage she interviews the leadership team in a way that gives the night shift its answers too. Critical questions get a place in the programme instead of in the corridor. More than ten years at Bosch, SAP and Volkswagen taught her how technical organisations talk internally. At the Digital Transformation Conference, a corporate reference with over 600 participants and 20 speakers, she tied a packed programme into one common thread. When colleagues from international sites sit in the room or join via stream, she switches to English following the language plan.
Venues and planning
Many corporate events in Graz take place directly on site, in the company's own hall or training centre. For large formats the city offers the Stadthalle Graz and the Congress Graz, plus conference hotels. Ludwigsburg is around 700 kilometres away, so Jasmin travels the day before and uses the evening for the technical check. How a solid running order is built is shown in the article running order of an event moderation. The format itself is described in the hub event moderation; all local engagements are collected on the Graz city page.
