Jasmin Wölke moderates events in Munich in English, in German or bilingually. She hosts corporate formats with international leadership as well as trade fair programmes that draw an audience from around the world.
Corporate headquarters think internationally
Munich is home to BMW, Siemens, Allianz and Munich Re, alongside tech, consulting and pharma. In many of these companies English has long been the reporting language. Leadership works internationally while the local workforce speaks German. At town halls, kick-offs and leadership conferences both groups sit in the same room. A moderator who runs only one language loses half of it. Jasmin therefore defines in the briefing which part of the programme runs in which language. New content comes in one language, the key points follow condensed in the other. The pace stays high and nobody hears the same sentence twice.
Trade fair weeks bring the world to town
Messe München attracts an audience with bauma, electronica, ISPO and EXPO REAL that talks business in English. Side programmes, exhibitor evenings and C-level formats around these fairs therefore often run entirely in English. Jasmin reads her way into the industry and its vocabulary and leads stage conversations in the guest's language. Her English comes from more than ten years in sales and marketing at Bosch, SAP and Volkswagen, with negotiations and leadership responsibility in both languages. At the Bosch Global Sales Summit she hosted two full days bilingually, in front of more than 500 guests from 40 countries. That was her client's corporate event, not a Munich date. But exactly that setting, an international room and a dense agenda, is the benchmark for her work.
From the ICM to BMW Welt
International formats in Munich run at the ICM next to the fairgrounds, at the MOC or in the Alte Kongresshalle. In the evening they move to BMW Welt, the Hotel Bayerischer Hof or the Zenith. Jasmin aligns with the production team on how videos, presentations and Q&A fit together across languages. In bilingual programmes she builds the transitions so that international guests and the German audience follow the same dramaturgy. Whether your event should run entirely in English or works better bilingually is a decision the page English or German: when English makes sense helps you make.
Getting there and next steps
From Ludwigsburg, Jasmin reaches Munich by ICE train in just over two hours. During trade fair weeks, when the city fills up, she arrives the day before. The Munich city page shows the local picture, and the page English speaking moderator explains the format in detail.
