The world’s leading trade fair and conference for the digital economy is strengthening its management. Effective May 16, Judith Kühn, 32, is joining dmexco as Director Conference. In her new position, she is in charge of the conference portion of dmexco, reporting to Dr. Dominik Matyka, Chief Advisor of dmexco, who will now focus more on vision, strategy and overall direction.
With a degree in philology and history, she previously worked at Vertical Media/ gründerszene.de, a digital publishing house. As Director Communication and Events, her responsibilities there centered around all of the event brands for the start-up scene, such as HEUREKA Conference, and events in the NGIN Food and NGIN Mobility area. Kühn was also in charge of internal and external communications for the publisher and its brands. Prior to that, she was employed with ALOHA.com in New York, where she worked in business operations of two family offices in Berlin and Zurich.
“I’ve known and valued Judith for many years, and I am delighted that, in her, we have managed to gain a dynamic, superbly networked personality with extensive event experience for the conference,” dmexco Chief Advisor Dominik Matyka said.
Judith Kühn takes over management of the conference from Birgit Köbl, who is going on sabbatical. Dominik Matyka: “We are very grateful to Birgit for her extraordinary dedication over the past eight years. Our doors are always open to her here at dmexco.”
