Jasmin Wölke moderates expert conferences and conventions in Duisburg, in English and German. She keeps programmes on track at the Mercatorhalle, the Theater am Marientor or the University of Duisburg-Essen.
Conferring where logistics meets research
Duisburg conferences bring together worlds that usually work apart: logistics planners from the port, plant managers from steel production, researchers from the University of Duisburg-Essen and the Fraunhofer IMS, plus administration and trade. When a professor of microelectronics and a freight operations manager sit in the same room, the day needs someone who speaks both languages. Jasmin asks the questions that open expert talks to the whole audience, condenses key points so they carry without prior knowledge, and connects the contributions into one argument instead of a mere sequence. Her own background of more than ten years inside Bosch, SAP and Volkswagen helps: she knows the audience's perspective from her own corporate practice.
Venues and running orders under control
The Mercatorhalle in the CityPalais gives conferences a central setting in the city centre, the Theater am Marientor a large stage for plenaries, the lecture halls on campus tightly timed specialist tracks, the hotels at the Innenhafen compact formats. Each environment has its own routes, its own technology, its own pitfalls. Jasmin walks the schedule through with organiser and production beforehand: where rooms change, where queues form, which slot can be shortened if the morning overruns. At the International Business Summit, a corporate reference with over 400 participants, two days and 15 sessions, she held exactly this structure: every session started on time, and the plenary kept returning to the common thread.
Discussions instead of chains of greetings
A conference is remembered when people talk rather than merely present. Jasmin prepares panels with her own questions, listens in on sessions and picks up in the afternoon what was said in the morning. She integrates English contributions without doubling the programme; on internationally mixed panels she switches language where it serves the conversation. How she structures multi-day programmes is described in moderating multi-day conferences. The format is explained on the hub page conference moderation; all Duisburg pages are collected on the Duisburg city page.
