Jasmin Wölke moderates company Christmas parties in Dortmund: from a dinner in the Goldsaal to a celebration in an industrial monument, in German and English. The conference moderator keeps tributes, speeches and programme in a frame that stays festive and tires nobody.
December in the Christmas city
During Advent, Dortmund calls itself a Christmas city, with a large Christmas market in the centre. For companies this means December is crowded, and good dates and rooms go early. If you plan your party in the Goldsaal of the Westfalenhallen, in the Dortmunder U or in the historic rooms of the Zeche Zollern, it pays to fix venue and moderation in autumn. Jasmin then joins the planning early: she knows the dramaturgy of a year-end evening and advises which programme item fits which room, before the invitations go out. The party gets planned like a project and still feels light on the evening itself.
Tributes, speech, review: the delicate twenty minutes
Almost every Christmas party has the same core: the management speech, the tribute to long-serving employees, a look back at the year. That is where the evening is decided. Jasmin agrees a speaking time with the management and protects it through the running order. For the honourees she collects personal notes in advance, so twenty years of service become more than a number. She tells the year in review in a warm and concrete way, with moments from the teams instead of figures. At the Leadership Excellence Awards, a corporate reference with 250 guests and ten awards, she showed how tributes keep their dignity in front of a large audience.
Between programme and party
After the official part, the evening belongs to the people. Jasmin deliberately steps back and only returns when the plan needs her: for a raffle, a team act, the thanks to the organisers. The article on programme ideas for the company Christmas party offers input for the frame. The hub page Christmas party moderation covers the essentials, and the Dortmund city page lists all formats in the city.
