…courageous and inspired people encounter exciting technologies and thereby have the right methods at hand. Which challenge there remains unsolved?
My goal as a moderator, innovation coach and content creator is to make exactly that possible for people: the perfect mix of inspiration, knowledge and the tools to shape the future.

Do you want to offer your conference audience more than just buzzwords?
As a moderator, I awaken the enthusiasm of your event participants for inspiration and prepare the stage for the exchange about tech, startups and the digital economy. No matter if hackathon, pitch battle, panel or a very large stage. No buzzword remains superficial and no tech talk remains unexplained.

Are you planning an international tech event with great speakers, a startup festival with a crisp pitch battle or a specialist conference on the latest digital topics?
I am happy to be at your side as a moderator in advance. Not only with tips and tricks for an agile and innovative event, but also with my large network of exciting speakers.
On day X, I will bring the spirit of your event to the stage, involve the speakers in lively conversations and ensure that the audience can take relevant insights home with them.
I always have a look at what’s going on behind the stage and that all your speakers arrive on stage on time and well prepared.
For years, I have been moderating major events in the field of tech, startups and digitization and agile special formats such as hackathons, bar camps or innovation sprints. I am happy to share this experience with you.
Where there is the will to innovate, there is also a way. Whether KMU, corporate or public service: as an innovation coach and facilitator, bring the right methods, approaches and technology updates with you to work out ideas together with your team and get projects on the road.

You don’t have to be Elon Musk and your company doesn’t have to be Tesla.
It is enough if you and your team have courage and you are open to leaving your comfort zone with your organization, and then I can support you to take an exciting step into the future.
You bring along the will to innovate, the intimate knowledge of the industry and the specific concern and I complement you with the right innovation processes and the right method at the right time. And with large projects, I bring a lot of excellent colleagues with me.
This mixture proves itself to be successful over and over again. I am sure your innovation project will also enrich the world.

IBM Think! Virtual PopUp
How do you reach your clients during a pandemic?
By creating a 3D model of your physical event space, condensing your content and inviting your clients to proactively participate.
I had the honour of hosting three IBM events around the IBM Planing Analytics Worspace and SAP S4/Hana. A mix of studio-talk, live product demo, remote interviews and Q&A enabled their customers to stay informed on relevant updates. A chat filled with more than 100 questions proved the relevance of this virtual format.
ruhrSUMMIT 2020 digital edition
Founders pitching in the corridor, corporates scouting for the next relevant disruption, and investors closely watching the live pitch battle – that’s what the ruhr.SUMMIT usually is about.
And thanks to rapidly developing their own virtual event platform this is what ruhr.SUMMIT 2020 was about as well. I had the opportunity to host the main stage with guests such as German investor Ralf Dümmel, upskilling expert Dalia Das or Lawrence Leuschner of Tier Mobility.
University Future Festival
Wie wollen deutsche Universitäten das hybride Wintersemester 2020 gestalten? Das Hochschulforum Digitalisierung hat in kürzester Zeit einen digitalen Mega Event auf die Beine gestellt: drei Tage, bestehend aus BarCamp:Day, Konferenz:Day und Workshop.Day.
Mit über 2.600 Teilnehmer, 66 Speakern und 30 Workshops. Ich konnte am ersten Tag das interaktive, digitale Bar Camp moderieren und am zweiten Tag das Interviewprogramm der virtuellen Lobby.
Startup Verband Deutschland
Von Berlin aus in die vernetzte Welt: Der Startupverband Deutschland hat während dem Lockdown in kürzester Zeit eine ganze Reihe an Online Events umgesetzt. Es war mir eine Freude fast wöchentlich an den verschiedensten Formaten als Moderator mitwirken zu können. Ein Highlight war definitiv das virtuelle Meet & Green Meetup mit Live Studiogästen, Remote Gästen und im Chat aktiven Teilnehmern.
Audi Digital Summit
I never thougth you could buy a car using a vending machine. Until I met trendscout David Mattin at the Audi Digital Summit. A two day summit that challenged me with eight consecutive panels.
It was highly interesting to steer the conversations around topics such as AR/VR, Big Data in mobility, consumer trends, or Blockchain. With more than 24 experts on stage, there was enough intellect to satisfy any audience.
SXSW me Convention
Did you know there is a tattoo ink that changes it’s colour depending on your blood sugar? SXSW Austin – presumably the most innovative festival in the world – has been working with Mercedes to create an European version of the event.
For the second year in a row, I had the pleasure to host the Insight Stage with thought leaders and pioneers such as Shaun Frankson – co-counder of the social startup Plastic Bank, artists and social media gurus – The Kissinger Twins or ‘AI-artist’ –Martha Fiennes.
Open Innovations Forum Moscow
Social Commerce is the newest growth factor in ecommerce. And in Russia, where the ecommerce market has yet to find a dominating force, it might be the deciding factor in the race for market leadership.
During Russia’s largest tech conference – Open Innovations Forum Moscow – I moderated a panel on the new and promising joint venture of Aliexpress Russia and VK.
Open Access Strategie Brandenburg
The academic world is in the midst of a small revolution: scientists, institutions, regulators and other stakehoders are working on making science more transparent and accessible.
The university of Potsdam asked me to support them with a two day stakeholder-workshop bringing together university directors, scientists, activists and ministry staff in order to map out an open access strategy for the federal state of Brandenburg.
Central European Startup Awards
The CESA Awards are the biggest Startup Awards with focus on the CEE region. Over the course of several months more than 10 countries select the best of their national startups and ecosystem actors in categories such as Fintech, Biotech, VC, Accelerator or Team. By the end of each year each nations sends it’s selection to the Grand Finale.
In this years edition it was my honor to present the Grand Finale in Sofia and meet the movers and shakers of the CEE region.
LOGIN Tech Festival
Vilnius is not only one of the most beautiful cities I know, but also home to the largest tech festival in the Baltics. With more than 6.000 visitors spread over 12 venues in Vilnius’ old city it makes it hard to choose the which speaker to listen to on which stage.
Good thing I was booked on the main stage and didn’t have to worry about making choices. Here I introduced the audience to international thought leaders, pioneers and personalities such as Adena Friedmann of NASDAQ, David Martin of Trendwatching or the former DEA agent Steve Murphy, who helped to chase down Pablo Escobar in real life.
Telia Business Summit
Where is the disruption happing in the telco market? How relevant are mobile banking, blockchain or the new EU guideline PSD 2 for European players? These were some of the questions discussed at the Telia Business Summit in Vilnius/ Lithuania.
I had the pleasure to present and converse with stage guests such as Marius Jurgilas – board member Bank of Lithuania or Nicolai Storonsky of shooting start fintech Revolut.
“Zackes moderated the Start-up @ ISH Forum and made a significant contribution to the success of the new format. He was extremely well prepared professionally, both for start-up and industry-specific topics.”
“We were interested in learning more about Blockchain technology and its applications.
Using Design Thinking Zackes successfully led the creative thought process to a tangible solution. We couldn’t be happier with the process and the result.”
“Highly recommend Zackes for MC jobs!
Worked with him on a number of webinars & bigger online events. He has a very pleasant way of moderating (both in English and German).
Looking forward to more events with him!”
