Utopia Conference 2010

In the charming malt house in Berlin, the 3rd Utopia conference was held from 27-28 October, 2010.
This year, I had the honor and immense pleasure of co-hosting the event with my wonderful colleague Britta Sander.

For two days, internationally renowned speakers like Bianca Jagger, René Obermann, Renate Künast and Hannes Jaenicke presented their ideas, visions and projects for a more sustainable world. In front of 500 guests in the audience and over 10.000 watching the online live-stream, the speakers discussed how all of us can contribute to a better world through a fair and sustainable lifestyle.

More information about the speeches and pictures from the conference can be found on Utopia.

Archaeologist for a day

Playing the flirtatious archaeologist and smart know-it-all Dr. Heribert Prokopf, I had the immense pleasure of filming for the German tv show “Forbidden Love” in October 2010. The Grundy UFA production, directed by Hannes Spring, was shot in the charming halls of the IHK Cologne.
The episode will be aired in January 2011.

River rocks Berlin

When it comes to rock music, Berlin can easily compete with St. Pauli in Hamburg. The gig at the “Box at the Beach” with the band “River” showed that Berlin can rock like a true music capital, no questions asked.

Fujitsu Future Forum 2010

This year, I once again had the privilige of being the moderator for the “Fujitsu Future Forum 2010“. From August 06 – October 05, 2010, the Fujitsu roadshow traveled the cities of Berlin, Hamburg, Düsseldorf, Mainz and Ludwigsburg to present the latest IT trends and technologies under the name “The Art of Computing“.

Using an innovative and interactive new format, developed by Head of Event, I was recorded on stage by a camera and then digitally inserted into a virtual world with interactive elements, which I was able to move around to support my moderation. A real challenge for me on stage and a fascinating experience for the people in the audience.

Pleasure is also a question of technique

Coffee from all parts of the world, prepared by first class Siemens espresso machines and explained by Master Barista Matthias Lincke. On August 17, 2010 in Munich and August 26, 2010 in Hamburg, I had the pleasure of hosting the official presentation of the new Siemens EQ.7 Plus and EQ.5 automatic espresso machines.

Over the course of an evening rich with culinary delights, outstanding coffee of different origins and presentations by the renowned architects Lars Krückeberg and Thomas Willemeit from Graft many fascinating stories where told and sensuous discoveries where made.
