An audience with a long memory

Halls in Wuppertal are full of people whose companies are older than any management fashion. Family businesses in their third or fourth generation, a pharmaceutical site with a research history reaching back to the 19th century, tool makers and suppliers that have survived many crises. Speaking about change here means speaking to people who have already lived through several transformations and who sort out buzzwords instantly. Jasmin takes this audience seriously: she tells how decisions really get made in large organisations, why digitalisation fails at the handovers between departments and what a leader can do when the next generation wants to work differently from the founders. AI appears where it changes daily work: in production planning, in sales, in service.

Occasions from the Stadthalle to the Gaskessel

The annual kick-off in the great hall of the Historische Stadthalle, a leadership conference in a hotel at Döppersberg, a strategy day on the company's own premises or an evening impulse in the Gaskessel in Heckinghausen: every stage demands its own length and tone. Jasmin develops each keynote from scratch after the briefing, using the company's projects, terms and friction points, from a 20 minute opener to a 45 minute core talk. At the Digital Transformation Conference, a corporate reference with more than 600 participants and over 20 speakers, she was on the programme herself. She therefore knows from both roles how an impulse has to be built so it survives a packed day.

Impulse and moderation from one voice

Many organisers book the keynote together with the moderation of the day. The terms from the impulse then reappear in panels and Q&A rounds, and the same voice leads the programme back to them. Organisationally it stays one briefing and one contract. Whether an impulse is enough for your occasion is sorted out in the guide keynote or moderation. More about the format is on the hub keynote speaker, and the Wuppertal city page collects all pages for the city.

Frequently asked questions

Which topics fit Wuppertal?
Leadership between generations, transformation in companies with history, and AI in the daily business of plant, sales and research. The examples come from her own corporate practice.
Does she speak to shareholder circles?
Yes. Small rounds with owner families need more conversation than stage: a shorter impulse followed by a moderated discussion behind closed doors.
Does she deliver the keynote in English?
Yes, fully in English or in a guided switch, for example when international direct sales partners or researchers are in the room.
Is the talk tailored to the company?
Yes. The briefing provides projects, internal terms and sore points. From this she builds an individual outline that you approve before the date.
Does a keynote work in an industrial monument?
Yes, with preparation. Venues like the Gaskessel demand shorter sentences, more pauses and a proper sound check on site.
What does a keynote in Wuppertal cost?
Scope, preparation and a possible combination with moderation define the price. After the briefing you receive a written offer with a fixed price.
