EVENT MODERATOR FRANZISKA ZIMMERMANN – for Events That Shine
I'm Franziska Zimmermann, and I love making brands, people and events shine!
Clients appreciate my positive energy and infectious laughter. But I bring more than that: many years of business and leadership experience.
As a former Head of Business Development having worked for a renowned management consultancy in the fields of finance, digitalization, accounting and M&A, I am familiar with the requirements of modern events from the world of business, strategies and transformation.
For more than 20 years, I have been on stage and in front of the camera — today moderating live events, conferences, panels, galas, award ceremonies and digital formats.
With me, you don't get a talking doll but a thinking partner – with instinct and personality for moderation that has a lasting impact.
Based in Stuttgart, I regularly moderate events across Germany — especially in Munich, Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Dresden, Berlin and Hanover — and wherever you need me. Across Germany and internationally.

SMART MODERATION WITH EMPATHY AND STRUCTURE

Moderation
Great moderation is like perfect service in a top restaurant:
The focus is not on the service staff – but on the menu, the guests, the experience. She "only" provides timing, atmosphere, and connection. Unobtrusive, but essential.
That “only” is more than it sounds: excellent service and good moderation are a craft you have to learn and refine over many years. A feel for the right moment can't be improvised!
And if this professionalism is lacking, you notice it immediately – in a restaurant just as much as at an event!
Therefore, it is worthwhile to hire a professional moderator for your event – so that individual program items become a complete experience.
