Expanding live communication and business events

Dr. Dominik Wagemann becomes Chief Event Officer

Dr. Dominik Wagemann (41) will be increasingly responsible for the further expansion of the event business at Vogel Business Media. The company's strategic direction envisages significant development and sales growth in this business area over the next few years.

As Chief Event Officer, Wagemann will be responsible for the business segment and its further development within the entire Vogel Business Media Group from July 1, 2017. This will be accompanied by the development of the "Vogel Business Events" brand as an organizer of B2B events, while the organizational structure will also be further developed.

"We are communication and knowledge partners for our customers. The need for relevant and innovative live platforms is growing in companies' communication mix, as is the need for high-quality training in the wake of constantly changing requirements for professional functionaries," comments Wagemann: "This is a significant business area that offers many opportunities for growth. In addition to expanding our product portfolio, we want to achieve further growth through strategic partnerships, cooperations, investments and acquisitions in order to intensify this business area."

In addition to the event unit headed by Ulrike Döring, Wagemann will be directly responsible for the expanded business development in future. Together with the teams of the Vogel media brands, the portfolio of vertical industry events will be expanded. In addition, horizontal cross-sectional topics, platforms and formats are to be developed to accompany the market transformations resulting from digitalization.

"I am delighted that Dominik Wagemann is concentrating fully on the further development of our strategically important event business and is driving forward the ambitious growth targets with the support of the entire company," comments Matthias Bauer, Managing Director of Vogel Business Media.
