Jasmin Wölke moderates specialist conferences and conventions in Zurich, in English and in standard German. The conference moderator comes from Ludwigsburg near Stuttgart; the train runs to Zurich without a change.
Practice and research in one room
Zurich conferences have a mix that few places offer in such density. On one side, the practice of the financial centre: banks, insurers, asset management. On the other, research from the orbit of ETH and the university with its spin-offs. On topics like AI, fintech or risk models, both groups sit in the same room. The professor wants to discuss methods; the practitioner wants to know what to do differently on Monday. Conference moderation has to take both expectations seriously: it asks research about application and practice about foundations. Jasmin brings her own corporate decade to that task. She worked for more than ten years at Bosch, SAP and Volkswagen and knows how expert talks turn into decisions.
One goal, one thread, one schedule
In the briefing, Jasmin first 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 question the day will be judged by, connects the contributions with transitions that carry substance and draws a short conclusion after each block. If a slot runs long, she wins the minutes back without putting anyone on the spot. 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 sessions are not the exception in Zurich but the normal case: the language plan is fixed before the conference, and individual blocks or the entire programme run in English.
Kongresshaus by the lake or The Circle
For conferences in the city, the Kongresshaus Zürich by the lake is the first address, alongside conference hotels and distinctive rooms such as StageOne. When participants arrive from several countries, The Circle at the airport works well for compact fly-in programmes. Jasmin arrives the day before for morning starts and plans the technical check as a fixed step. How she runs multi-day programmes is covered in moderating a multi-day conference. The format is described in the conference moderation hub, and all assignments in the city are bundled on the Zurich city page.
