Jasmin Wölke moderates events in Wuppertal in English and German: conferences, town halls, client events and anniversaries, fully in English or in a guided switch between both languages. German staff and international guests experience one programme instead of two separate halves.
International guests, hosts from the Bergisches Land
Companies in Wuppertal sell, research and deliver far beyond the region. Pharmaceutical research in Elberfeld works with teams from several countries, broadcast technology from the Wupper valley is used in international productions, direct sales brings partners from many markets together, and suppliers of cables and safety technology serve customers worldwide. In the hall, the engineer presenting her results in English sits next to the foreman from the plant who wants to ask his questions in German. A moderation in one language always loses one of those groups. A simultaneous interpreting booth costs budget and atmosphere. For rooms like these, bilingual moderation is the third way.
A language plan instead of improvisation
The briefing produces a plan that fixes the language for every item: welcome, talks, interviews, Q&A. Jasmin announces each switch on stage so nobody is caught off guard, and she sums up the key messages of every block compactly in the other language. The programme keeps its length, and both groups leave with the same messages. At the Bosch Global Sales Summit, a corporate reference with more than 500 participants from 40 countries, she stood in front of an audience for which English was mostly a foreign language too. That is why she speaks clear business English without idioms, at a pace that carries non-native listeners along.
Corporate years instead of a language course
Her English comes from more than ten years in engineering and sales at Bosch, SAP and Volkswagen, from projects with partners on several continents. Technical terms from pharma, engineering and sales sit firmly in both languages, from the active ingredient to the margin. This works in the great hall of the Historische Stadthalle just as well as in a conference hotel at Döppersberg or at an in-house trade day in the company's own plant. When an English moderation pays off is sorted out in the guide on moderation in English. The format hub bilingual moderation explains the concept, and the Wuppertal city page bundles all pages for the city.
