Events are playing a greater and greater role when it comes to politics and society. The presence of the media alone is enough to demand a highly professional organisation and implementation of these events. For, in the media era, it is the persuasive power of the staging that often determines the credibility of the actors.
Anyone wishing to work successfully in the realm of politics or society needs to effectively mediate their achievements and to face up to dialogue. At the most wide-ranging occasions. On open days, at election campaign events, at international conferences or summit meetings held by office holders or figureheads, presidencies, celebrations, state visits or charity events.
There needs to be a little showbiz, even in the official context. It must be unobtrusive. But professional. Not from an impulse for self-indulgance, rather to make oneself heard and to fulfil expectations. Above all those held by the public. Regional, national or international. Professionals know this. And they look for partners with the same aspirations.
Obama in Berlin – he got the world talking. No-one knew how many people would flock to the Victory Column on this July day in the summer of 2008 . The final figure stood at around 200,000. Those with a space by the stage had had to arrive several hours in advance. Yet everyone heard the presidential candidate. And most of the people there saw him on the video screens as well. We made this happen. And, together with everyone that attended that day, we were impressed. By an outstanding personality who today stands as the President of the USA. Thank you, Mr President. It was a pleasure working for you. Since 1991, we have supervised and carried out a total of more than 400 international conferences and government events.
