Ingo De Jonge

I’m an experienced Event and Trade Fair Manager with over 15 years of background in delivering impactful B2B projects across Germany and Europe — with a strong focus on the automotive, IT, and energy industries.

I’ve led the planning and execution of major trade fair appearances such as IAA Mobility, CeBIT, Hannover Messe, and eWorld of Energy. From concept to rollout, I’ve managed six-figure budgets, aligned internal and external teams, and worked closely with C-level stakeholders to create strategic and audience-focused experiences.

My strength lies in combining structure with creativity: I develop modular booth concepts, manage hybrid and digital events, and always keep the big picture in view. My time at T-Systems and Hitchcock Events shaped my ability to lead complex projects and deliver measurable results under pressure.

Now working independently, I’m looking for freelance engagements where I can bring in my hands-on mindset, my calm way of solving challenges, and my deep understanding of both international business and regional identity. I also serve on the board of a 30,000-member sports federation, where I manage communication, media, and sponsorship — because connecting people and building meaningful partnerships has always been at the heart of what I do.
