Markus M. Jessberger (47) will be new Event Director of Reed Exhibitions Deutschland GmbH. He succeeds Britta Wirtz who will join Karlsruher Messe- und Kongress GmbH to take up the position of management spokesperson. Jessberger, who was born in Nuremberg, will assume the overall management of the ALUMINIUM, COMPOSITES EUROPE, SHOWTECH and MODERNER STAAT fairs.

The project management of the worldwide ALUMINIUM fairs will be in the hands of Ulrike Hülbach who has already been on the ALUMINIUM team since 2002 and most recently was responsible for the Essen event as its Project Manager.

Hans-Joachim Erbel, Managing Director of Reed Exhibitions Deutschland GmbH, professed himself very satisfied with the new personnel arrangements: “Here years of industry experience in the aluminium sector combine with the expertise of a trade fair manager operating internationally.“

Jessberger has many years of experience in the international trade fair business; among other things as a project manager of the “START“ and “CRM-expo“ fairs from 2001 where he was instrumental in the establishment and very successful further development of both events. In his most recent position of department head with asfc - atelier scherer fair consulting GmbH, he was responsible for the domestic fairs of the Fürth-based trade fair company.

Ulrike Hülbach, who holds a degree in business administration and is a graduate of the European School of Management, joined the trade fair business in 2002 and has since contributed to making ALUMINIUM one of the most successful industrial fairs of the last ten years.
