Where science and industry share the room

Conferences in Aachen have one special trait: with RWTH, FH and a research-driven economy, professors, engineers and managing directors sit side by side. Some want methodology, others want application. A conference moderator has to serve both, or she loses half the room. Jasmin comes from the technology and corporate world and translates between the two. She asks about practical value where a talk stays theoretical, and about the evidence where it sounds too smooth. That is how twelve individual talks become one conference with a storyline that carries from the first panel to the closing round.

Eurogress, lecture hall centre or campus

The obvious venues are the Eurogress at the Stadtgarten with its large hall and side rooms, the lecture hall centres of RWTH and FH, and the event spaces on the RWTH Aachen Campus. Each environment makes its own demands on moderation and stage management: lecture halls often lack a real stage, on campus groups move between rooms, in the congress centre tracks run in parallel. Jasmin plans the transitions with the project team, introduces parallel tracks and makes sure breaks, walking distances and technology fit the schedule. At the International Business Summit, a corporate reference, she guided two days with 15 sessions without the afternoon falling apart.

Q&A rounds with substance

With an expert audience, the discussion decides the value of a conference. Jasmin bundles questions, draws quiet groups into the conversation and ends monologues politely before they eat the schedule. On request she moderates entirely in English or in alternation, which international doctoral researchers and teams in Aachen often require. How a dense programme stays on time is shown on keeping the schedule. The basics are explained on the conference moderation hub, more formats on the Aachen city page.

Frequently asked questions

Does she moderate scientific expert conferences?
Yes, especially formats between research and industry. The speakers deliver the depth, Jasmin guides, connects and keeps the discussion open.
What does conference moderation in Aachen cost?
That depends on duration, programme density and preparation. After the briefing you receive a written offer, with travel and hotel listed.
How does she prepare for a topic outside her field?
With the programme, abstracts and preliminary calls with speakers. Her job is not to be the expert, but to ask the right questions at the right time.
Can she take on multi-day conferences?
Yes. For two or three days she plans dramaturgy and her own energy so the last agenda item is hosted as present as the first.
Does she also introduce parallel tracks and workshops?
Yes. She opens and closes the plenary, moderates the transitions into the tracks and collects the results at the end so nothing gets lost.
Can the conference run in English?
Yes, entirely in English or bilingually in a guided alternation. For international audiences she defines the language concept in the briefing.
