Jasmin Wölke hosts events in Hannover in English, in German or in a guided mix of both languages. Her English comes from more than ten years of international corporate business, not from a language course.
Where Hannover speaks English
Few cities draw international audiences as regularly as Hannover: the exhibition grounds are the largest in the world, and Hannover Messe, IAA Transportation, Agritechnica and LIGNA bring trade visitors from every continent. On a stand stage, English is not an option but the ticket of entry. Away from the fairs the language question becomes just as concrete: corporate sites and family-owned firms in the region work with international teams, conferences at the HCC schedule English sessions, and at corporate events part of the workforce is still learning German. Leaving the language choice to chance means losing part of your audience on exactly the evening when everyone should be included.
A language plan, not a gut feeling
Jasmin puts the language question on the table in the briefing: how many in the room follow only in English, how many prefer German, and what applies to stage, slides and Q&A? From this comes a clear plan. Some programmes run entirely in English; often she leads in a guided mix and secures key statements compactly in the other language instead of doubling every sentence. The programme keeps its pace and both groups stay in the conversation. The plan reaches into the details, because clips, signage and the first slide send a language message too.
Proven in front of international audiences
At Bosch, Jasmin worked in international business for more than ten years, most recently as a director with a team of 100 people. Negotiating, presenting and leading in English was her daily work before she moved to the stage. At the Bosch Global Sales Summit, a company reference, she led three days of programme with more than 500 participants from 40 countries. For your event in Hannover this means: she stays composed when accents, technical terms and interjections collide in the Q&A, and she handles humour so it survives the change of language.
Formats, travel, enquiry
Assignments range from stand programmes on the exhibition grounds to conferences at the HCC and corporate events on your own site. From Ludwigsburg Jasmin takes the direct ICE; in fair weeks she books hotels well in advance. For a quote, send date, format and the languages involved through the contact form.
