Jasmin Wölke moderates townhalls, kick-offs and employee events in Zurich, in English and in standard German. The event moderator comes from Ludwigsburg near Stuttgart and reaches Zurich by direct train.
Two event cultures in one city
Zurich employee events come from two traditions. The financial houses cultivate the classic townhall: aligned messages, a clear dramaturgy, questions handled with care, because in a regulated industry every word from the stage is weighed. The city's tech side lives the all-hands culture: open microphone, direct follow-ups, slides as an afterthought. Increasingly, both cultures meet inside the same company, for instance when a bank grows its engineering teams and the new colleague from software asks different questions than the client adviser. The moderation has to serve both expectations: structure for one side, real answers for the other. Jasmin runs these programmes so that the executive team keeps its line while the room still feels its questions are genuinely wanted. That balance is the difference between an event people sit through and one they talk about afterwards.
Precise messages, two languages
Then there is the language question, which in Zurich almost answers itself. Workforces are international, English is the working language in many companies, and the townhall runs in English, in German or switching to a plan. Jasmin fixes the language plan in the briefing and holds it on stage without the programme falling apart. She asks the executive team the questions the room is silently asking, concrete and without letting answers slide. The craft comes from more than ten years at Bosch, SAP and Volkswagen. At the Digital Transformation Conference, a corporate reference with over 600 participants and 20 speakers, she tied a dense programme into one thread.
From the company auditorium to Oerlikon
Many Zurich companies have their own auditoriums and event spaces; those who go out find rooms for every size at StageOne in Oerlikon, the Kongresshaus by the lake or The Circle at the airport, convenient when teams fly in from several countries. Jasmin schedules the technical check firmly before the event and arrives the day before for morning formats. How a resilient running order is built is shown in the event moderation schedule. The format itself is described in the event moderation hub, and all assignments in the city are bundled on the Zurich city page.
