International teams in an industrial city

Augsburg's economy is technical Mittelstand and global corporation at once. Robotics, drive technology and aerospace bring specialists from all over the world to the city, and the innovation park adds researchers. At townhalls, client events and conferences, part of the audience often cannot follow a German-only programme. Many organisers put their slides in English and hope the rest sorts itself out. It rarely does. A bilingual host solves the problem on stage: she leads both groups through the same evening without turning either of them into bystanders.

Switching without repeating

Bilingual hosting does not mean saying every sentence twice. That kills the pace and bores both sides. Jasmin uses the languages deliberately: welcome and framing in both, each agenda item in the language of its speaker, key messages briefly mirrored in the other language. After a few minutes the audience notices it is not missing anything, and relaxes. At Bosch's Global Sales Summit, a corporate reference with more than 500 participants from 40 countries, Jasmin carried this principle across two days. How the switching works in detail is explained in how bilingual moderation works.

Technical language, safe in both tongues

Augsburg programmes are rarely small talk. On stage, the topics are automation, drive systems, materials or real estate portfolios. Jasmin comes from an international corporate career and spent years presenting and negotiating technical topics in English. Before each event she works through the vocabulary of the subject in both languages, drawing on the briefing, the talks and conversations with speakers. The technical discussion stays precise even when it changes language, and guests from abroad experience a stage that meets them at eye level.

Frequently asked questions

How does she decide which language comes when?
Based on audience and agenda item. Beforehand she clarifies how the room is composed and builds a language plan that can flex on the evening itself.
Does she also host entirely in English?
Yes. When the audience is mostly international, the whole programme runs in English, including interviews and discussion rounds.
What about individual guests who speak no German?
Short English summaries at the key moments are often enough. The evening keeps its German character without anyone dropping out.
Does she conduct English stage interviews with executives?
Yes. English stage interviews are part of her core work, from the short chat after a speech to executive talks with international guests.
Does a bilingual event need more preparation time?
A little, mainly for the language plan and the technical vocabulary. The briefing stays the same; coordination with speakers becomes more important.
What does bilingual moderation in Augsburg cost?
It depends on duration, format and preparation. After the briefing you receive a written offer with a fixed fee.
