Jasmin Wölke moderates summits in Stuttgart in English and German: closed rounds where industry decision makers work at one table. As lead moderator she carried the International Business Summit through two days with 15 sessions and more than 400 participants.
Museums as negotiating venues
Stuttgart offers summits venues that make a point. The Mercedes-Benz Museum and the Porsche Museum place any round in the context of industry's past and future; for guests who are responsible for transformation themselves, that resonates more than any ballroom. The Haus der Wirtschaft sets the sober counterpoint for rounds that need quiet rather than scenery. In the end the floor plan decides: short distances between conversation and coffee, side rooms for the confidential part, technology that survives a dense day. Jasmin checks these points in person, because Stuttgart is a home game for her.
When competitors share the table
A Stuttgart summit often gathers companies that otherwise compete: manufacturers, suppliers, machine builders, plus world market leaders from the surrounding region such as Trumpf, Stihl or Kärcher, and Bosch headquartered in Gerlingen. Topics like transformation, software and artificial intelligence concern everyone at the table; even so, nobody likes discussing detail in front of the competition. The moderation has to know that line. Jasmin asks questions that make positions visible without forcing anyone to reveal internals, balances speaking time evenly and keeps confidential matters in the room, with a signed agreement on request. Her own decade in a corporation helps her hear the boundary between a thesis and a trade secret.
Preparation as a home game
The quality of an executive round is built in the weeks before it. Jasmin holds preparatory conversations with the host about the goal of the day and with speakers about theses that can actually carry a round. In Stuttgart she does this in person rather than by video: Ludwigsburg is fifteen minutes away, site visits and final alignment happen on location, even at short notice. The International Business Summit is a corporate reference, not a Stuttgart event; it documents two days of dense programme with 15 sessions in front of more than 400 participants. For strategy formats in a closer circle there is the page on strategy event moderation.
Booking without travel logistics
Send the date, venue and circle of participants through the contact form; a briefing and a written quote follow, and travel costs barely matter in Stuttgart. If your summit runs in English or bilingually, the language plan is fixed after the briefing. The format itself is explained on the summit moderation page, and there is more about the city on the Stuttgart city page.
