Conference Management and a Single Point of Contact

The timely establishment of clear structures is a crucial precondition for the success of any conference. Experienced management is therefore of central importance. Only in this way can the frequently very complex preparatory process be held together. The crucial ingredients of any successful conference management are not only a carefully planned schedule that should be followed to the letter, but also the early involvement of all concerned persons, the coordination and agreement of sub-processes and their eventual merging, consultation with service providers and the management of participants.

 

Ute Peters sees herself  as a communication hub in this process – from preparation to realization to follow up. To implement the complete spectrum of conference organization, she can call on an established network of independent and experienced experts. As the need arises, she assembles suitable teams to ensures that every event runs smoothly in accordance with its own requirements and sensitivities. Her many years of specializing in political events have enabled her to develop a fine awareness of the needs and interests at stake in dealing with the most diverse range of actors.

 

Mediation as a Conflict Management Procedure

Mediation is a procedure for the cooperative resolution of conflicts with the help of an unbiased arbitrator, the mediator. In contrast to arbitration or a court settlement, mediation is a procedure in which the conflicting parties solve their conflict on their own responsibility. The role of a mediator in process of finding a solution is to provide support and structure and to ensure that rules agreed between the parties, such as openness, trust and mutual respect of persons and interests, are being adhered to. 

As a conference manager, Ute Peters makes use of her abilities as mediator, combining both of these areas of compentences in moderating the origination of conferences. Where her involvement is exclusively as a mediator, her focus is on mediation in industry contexts, providing a consistently target-oriented approach for organizations and companies, with the aim of transforming the interest profiles of all participants in development processes of conflict situations into value-adding solutions.
