Based in Vienna, I host events in Austria and internationally, in English and German. I connect your topics with the people on stage and in the audience.
How I work
- 01
Preparation
My work begins long before the event: shaping the programme, building trust with your speakers and asking the right questions.
- 02
On stage
I keep conversation and timing on track and connect your topics with the people on stage and in the audience.
- 03
When plans change
Programme changes, live link-ups, unexpected turns: I stay calm and keep the thread – even when things don’t go to plan.
06About me
Communication is my profession. The stage is my workplace.
I am Cornelia Ertl, an event moderator and communications specialist. Self-employed since 2012, I bring experience from more than 200 events and a degree in Communications Management from FHWien der WKW.
Around half of my events in English
Around half of my assignments are now in English. International conferences, specialist topics and audiences with different perspectives are part of my everyday work.
My work begins with preparation: shaping the programme, building trust with speakers and asking the right questions. On stage, I keep the conversation and timing on track, even when plans change. I work independently of public and private broadcasters.
