Jasmin Wölke moderates association conferences, congresses, townhalls and galas in Bern, in English and in standard German. From Ludwigsburg near Stuttgart, the conference moderator travels by train via Basel and reaches the federal city in a good four hours.
Where associations and administration meet
Bern is Switzerland's federal city, and that shapes the event calendar more than any single industry. Many associations gather their boards and committees close to parliament and the federal administration, and their general assemblies, delegate meetings and specialist conferences fill the Kursaal, BERNEXPO and the conference hotels of the city centre. Add to that events run by the public sector, and panels where business, administration and science share one stage. Whoever moderates here needs neutrality and a feel for committees: the room holds elected boards, sections with their own agenda and guests from politics. Jasmin runs such programmes so that every voice gets its place and the agenda items are still closed on time.
Corporations, medicine and a precise audience
Beyond politics, Bern has an economy of its own. Swiss Post, SBB, Swisscom, the insurer Mobiliar and the energy group BKW have their headquarters in Bern or its agglomeration, and their townhalls, annual kick-offs and client events demand the same precision as the association world, just at a different pace. The third pillar is medicine: the Inselspital as a university hospital and the University of Bern bring health congresses and scientific conferences into the city. Jasmin brings more than ten years of corporate experience at Bosch, SAP and Volkswagen, and she enjoys an audience that listens, weighs and only then judges. Business events run in standard German, international programme items in English; she fixes the switch in the briefing and holds it on stage.
From the Kursaal into the UNESCO old town
For congresses and large conferences there are the Kursaal Bern and BERNEXPO. Festive evenings take place at Casino Bern, at the Zentrum Paul Klee or in the historic cellars and society houses of the old town, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site; in summer the Aare river and the Gurten frame company celebrations. Jasmin aligns every venue with the production team and organiser, and for morning slots she arrives the day before. Assignments across the country are bundled in the hub moderator for Switzerland, the committee format is described on moderating association conferences, the preparation in the briefing checklist.
