Anja Holinsky
Event Manager POLARIS
„One culmination point of our works council activities in 2024 was the successful conclusion of an agreement with company management granting weekend bonus payments to lower wage groups. This expresses respect for the efforts of all those employees whose on-call availability and continuous on-site presence enable our company to operate 365 days per year. “
HMC Works Council
„My highlight in 2024 was our new events, Hydrogen Technology Expo and Carbon Capture Technology Expo. The highly ambitious plans for these events were actually surpassed, and through this partnership, we were able to clearly position Hamburg as a European leader in forward-looking hydrogen technology. Implementing this event so successfully right after our big autumn exhibitions was a major accomplishment of everybody giving their best.“
Michael Wiedekamp
Director Contract & Partnership Development
„My highlight in 2024 was the successful implementation of the digital networking platform Swapcard for SMM and WindEnergy Hamburg, which revolutionised the trade fair experience by introducing AI-enabled matchmaking, while providing me, who was directly interacting with customers at the help desk, with valuable insights into the needs of our exhibitors and visitors.“
Max Töpfer
Business Process Manager
„My highlight in 2024 was my start in my new job in Sustainability Management at HMC in March. All colleagues welcomed me very warmly, and I can really just be myself here.“
