Jasmin Wölke moderates expert conferences, annual conventions and industry gatherings in Linz, in English and in German. The conference moderator prepares every programme in a structured briefing and travels from Ludwigsburg near Stuttgart the day before.
A conference city with two pillars
Whoever holds a conference in Linz brings two worlds into the same room. On one side the industry: voestalpine with its group headquarters in the city, the chemical park with Borealis, Primetals in plant engineering, Rosenbauer in neighbouring Leonding. On the other side a software scene that includes Dynatrace, founded in Linz, plus the research of the Johannes Kepler University. A conference on production, digitalisation or energy finds its audience right on the doorstep. The setting is provided by the Design Center as the central congress venue, the Palais Kaufmännischer Verein with its historic halls and the Brucknerhaus on the Danube. This audience does not sit politely through a day. It compares every slide with its own operation and asks the question the talk left open.
From programme booklet to a connecting thread
A full agenda is not yet a conference. In the briefing, Jasmin clarifies what should be decided or understood by the end of the day and aligns the blocks towards it. On stage she opens with the contested question of the day, connects the talks with transitions that carry substance and pulls the key points back into the bigger picture after each block. When a slot runs over, she recovers the minutes without exposing a speaker. This routine comes from programmes like the International Business Summit, a corporate reference spanning two days with more than 400 participants and 15 sessions.
English is part of the programme in Linz
In software, research and among international industrial customers, English is everyday business in Linz. Individual English sessions, international speakers or a complete English track can be planned cleanly: the language plan is fixed before the conference, the switches on stage follow that plan, and the key messages land in both languages. For programmes spanning several days, the article on moderating a multi-day conference is worth a read. The format is described in the hub conference moderation, and all local engagements are collected on the Linz city page.
