  • To this end, you structure organizational workflows, prioritize topics and support the establishment of cross-site services.
  • You plan and coordinate events holistically — from scheduling and room booking to hybrid setups and content-related preparation and follow-up.
  • You introduce innovative event formats and support them operationally.

  • You proactively research topics, trends and technologies and prepare them professionally as presentations, dossiers and one-pagers.
