Jasmin Wölke hosts conferences, corporate events, customer days and galas in Linz, in English and German. The conference moderator is based in Ludwigsburg near Stuttgart, arrives the day before every Linz engagement and lists travel costs transparently in her offer.
A city with two heartbeats
Linz built its event calendar from two directions. On one side stands the industry along the Danube: the steel and technology group headquartered in the city, the chemical park, metallurgical plant engineering, fire fighting technology in neighboring Leonding. On the other side stands digital Linz: a grown software scene that includes Dynatrace, founded here, research at Johannes Kepler University and the media art world around the Ars Electronica Festival. The city was European Capital of Culture in 2009 and today carries the title UNESCO City of Media Arts. Events happen between those two worlds: the industry conference at the Design Center, the customer day in the Tabakfabrik, the townhall on the factory premises, the festive evening at the Brucknerhaus or in the Palais Kaufmännischer Verein.
Moderation for mixed rooms
That mix is exactly what makes Linz events demanding. The same room seats the shift supervisor from the steel plant, the software engineer and the researcher from the university, and each of them listens differently. Jasmin speaks both languages from more than ten years at Bosch, SAP and Volkswagen: the language of production and the language of IT. She leads programs so that expert content stays accessible without becoming shallow, and in Q&A rounds she asks the follow-up question the audience is thinking. She hosted the Global Sales Summit, a corporate reference with more than 500 participants from 40 countries, as the continuous program lead. English is part of the job in Linz, because software and industry both work for international customers, and many teams in the city switch languages several times a day without noticing.
Planning a Linz engagement
From Ludwigsburg to Linz it is roughly 550 kilometers, by rail or car via Munich and Salzburg or via Passau. Jasmin arrives the day before, and the evening belongs to the technical check or the rehearsal. Engagements across the country are collected on the hub moderator Austria. What a good briefing covers is shown in the briefing checklist, and the article what does an event moderator cost? explains how a booking is priced.
