Presenter Ilka Groenewold
PROFESSIONAL, AUTHENTIC, CHARMING
I am Ilka, a passionate presenter from Hamburg – sporty, full of energy, with wit and charm on stage. Benn passion makes the difference! Inspiring people and offering infotainment is what I strive for in my daily work. I have hosted over 4,000 events since 2001. Starting with VIVA and DJ BOBO, I now work as a reporter for WELT and host events – in German and English – hybrid, digital and live with a focus on digitalization, automotive, finance, real estate, metaverse, IT/cybersecurity, start-ups and sustainability. I also pass on all my expertise from the stage as a coach for rhetoric and body language. In 2020, the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy recognized me as a “role model entrepreneur”.
In 2022, I received the “Digital Places” award from the Lower Saxony Ministry of Economic Affairs, Labour, Transport and Digitalization for my streaming studio. In 2022, my 2nd book “Erfolgskompass – Deine Reise zum Erfolg” was published. When I’m not on stage, sport is my passion: 2 IRONMANs, over 20 marathons, crossing the Alps and much more are the challenges I set myself time and again. And since 2023 I have been following another passion – music (see Spotify). In the same year, I was appointed to the Senate of Economy as a senator. My life is like a colorful bouquet of flowers and I want to motivate others. In my keynote “Go for it – the limit is only me”, I give the right mindset for achieving goals.

PIERRE SCHRAMM, BILLWERK GMBH
At the Local Branding Day 2022 in Bonn, I was able to meet Ilka in person and on stage for the first time. It was always refreshing when she took the stage and led through the program with her charm and wit. She always skillfully set the scene for the individual keynote speakers with her expertise and good preparation, giving the whole event a special sparkle. See you hopefully next year!
