Jasmin Wölke moderates events in Düsseldorf in English, in German or bilingually. In a city whose trade fairs draw visitors from every continent, English on stage is the normal case.
The city invites the world
MEDICA brings the world's medical technology industry to Düsseldorf, boot brings the water sports sector, ProWein the international wine trade. Companies use those weeks for customer events, receptions and product presentations, and the guest list is as international as the fair itself. The city adds its own weight: Henkel, Metro and Vodafone Deutschland run international organisations from here, and Germany's largest Japanese community lives around Immermannstraße. Anyone hosting an event in Düsseldorf rarely plans for a purely German audience. So the question is not whether English will come up. The question is how much English the programme needs, and who holds both languages together on stage.
A language plan instead of saying everything twice
In the briefing Jasmin sets the language plan: which parts run in English, which in German, and what gets condensed for the other group. On stage she interviews guests in their own language and sums up the result for the room in a few sentences. Nothing is said twice, and the programme keeps its pace. Her English comes from more than ten years at Bosch, SAP and Volkswagen, leading international teams. Her benchmark is the Bosch Global Sales Summit: two days, over 500 guests from 40 countries, hosted in English and German. That was her client's corporate event, not a Düsseldorf date, but exactly this mix of languages and nationalities is the core of the format. The mechanics are explained on the page bilingual moderation.
From the CCD to the MedienHafen
International formats in Düsseldorf run at the CCD on the Rhine, in the hotel ballrooms along Königsallee, or in the evening at the Rheinterrasse and in the MedienHafen. Before the date Jasmin clarifies the vocabulary with the speakers: medical technology around MEDICA needs different terms than retail or fashion. She prepares stage conversations in both languages, so a spontaneous switch surprises nobody. The page English speaking moderator shows what the format covers.
