Trade Fairs & Events
Reaching people, generating attention, and conveying content in a lively way.
Trade fairs and events bring people together. New contacts are made, conversations develop spontaneously, and often it's decided within seconds whether a topic gains attention or is overlooked. Especially at trade fairs, it's therefore crucial to reach visitors, spark interest, and communicate content clearly.
That is precisely what I find so appealing about these formats: inspiring people with topics, sparking conversations and creating an atmosphere for genuine exchange.
Whether on the trade fair stage, at the exhibition stand or at a corporate event: I create attention for topics and connect companies with their audience.
Every event presents its own unique challenges. Panel discussions require a different moderation style than stage interviews, and corporate events need a different dynamic than trade fairs. The key is to understand the specific situation and find the right tone for the audience, guests, and occasion.
Therefore, I prepare intensively for each event and create a framework on stage that provides orientation, promotes conversation and makes content understandable.
Keeping people attentive, reacting spontaneously and creating genuine interaction – on stage and in direct exchange with the audience.
To moderate complex content, discussions and program items in such a way that people can follow along and events remain lively and understandable.
Even during the preparation phase, we work together to develop how messages are conveyed on stage and which formats suit the audience.
Live situations often change at short notice. I react flexibly to new situations while still keeping events structured and professional.
Trade fairs are about communicating complex topics in an understandable way and fostering exchange between companies, experts, and industry professionals. I moderate stage programs, expert discussions, interviews, and presentations at a wide variety of industry events.
At public trade fairs, the focus is on experience, interaction, and attention. The key is to actively engage visitors, foster spontaneous conversations, and present content in an entertaining way.
From annual kick-off events and customer events to company anniversaries and internal events: I accompany events where people come together, messages are conveyed and encounters are created.
Conversations with guests, product presentations, interviews, or panel discussions on stage require moderation that provides structure while simultaneously creating space for genuine interaction. I facilitate formats that inform, inspire, and bring people together in conversation.
Trade fairs and events rarely follow a fixed script. Programs change, speakers bring new ideas, and each target group reacts differently. Therefore, a moderator is needed who can quickly adapt to new situations and maintain an overview even in a dynamic environment.
I bring this experience from numerous events of varying sizes. From specialist conferences and corporate events to large public trade fairs such as gamescom and FIBO, as well as industry trade fairs like didacta or ONE SPIE, I have had the opportunity to support a wide variety of formats.
Some examples of trade fairs and events that I have had the pleasure of moderating in recent years:
Digitalization and the use of AI systems in education, Cologne Trade Fair (2026)
Panel talks at the world's leading trade fair for fitness, wellness and health
Cooking show at the world's largest trade fair for computer and video games and consumer electronics
I moderate trade fairs, industry events, corporate events, customer events, live events, and hybrid formats. I can oversee individual program items as well as entire event days.
At a trade fair, many impressions compete for attention simultaneously. Good trade fair moderation ensures that people stop, listen, and become interested in exploring a topic in more detail.
A trade fair moderator creates the framework for good conversations. She helps to highlight topics, involve visitors, and build bridges between companies, guests, and the public.
Yes. I find complex topics particularly interesting. Thanks to my journalistic background, I can quickly familiarize myself with new content and ask the questions that interest the audience.
Yes, absolutely. Panels thrive on the coming together of diverse perspectives. I ensure that conversations remain lively, that all guests have a chance to speak, and that engaging discussions ensue.
Every event is different. That's why I take the time to understand the goals, content, and target audience. This results in a moderation style that suits the topic, the audience, and the event.
