Céline Laukemann appointed as Head of Partnerships

ExpoPlatform has appointed Céline Laukemann as Head of Partnerships to spearhead growth of its AI-powered speed networking.

Céline’s focus will be on scaling NetWorks, a standalone product designed to trigger business opportunities which benefit organizers of small-to-largescale exhibitions and conferences.

She has more 20 years of expertise in leading go-to-market strategies, with over a decade in event tech and SaaS across finance, education and logistics.

Her work has seen her help global brands and ambitious SMEs expand into new markets across Europe, the Middle East and Southern Africa.

Tanya Pinchuk, CEO of ExpoPlatform, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Céline to ExpoPlatform as our new Head of Partnerships.

“Céline’s leadership and vision will be instrumental as we scale NetWorks and continue to redefine how people meet, match and build relationships in the age of AI.

“Her joining marks another exciting step forward for our team – and for the future of intelligent, human-centred event tech.”

Céline added: “I’m honored to join ExpoPlatform as Head of Partnerships, where I champion NetWorks – ExpoPlatform’s smart speed networking star.

“NetWorks is a beautifully simple solution that instantly connects people, ideas, and opportunities in a unique way – a true gift for me as I start my journey at ExpoPlatform with and everyone in the event industry.

“This new, standalone product is super easy to implement and ready to go anywhere, giving event organisers unlimited formats to bring the right people together. Easy wins. Anytime.

“Being part of a delightfully diverse team that values innovation, deep tech, real impact and outstanding customer success means everything to me.

“Are you ready to date your new world with NetWorks? We are ready to partner up with you.”

NetWorks is powered by an intelligent algorithm to match buyers with exhibitors and sponsors with delegates, so all participants can cut to the chase with a personalized schedule.

The simple and easy-to-use format comes with walk-in and pre-matched options so that organizers of all shapes and sizes can benefit – from small conferences to giant exhibitions.

Organizers specify the timeframe for a number of short, fast-paced meetings to take place over the course of a session.

This opens the door for deeper conversations to then take place with new contacts over the course of the event and beyond.

It is designed so organizers and participants all see a boost to their event ROI:

• Organizers: Increase NPS and rebooking rates by delivering quantifiable value.
• Exhibitors and sponsors: Meet prospects in rapid-fire, face-to-face sessions so that time is not wasted.
• Buyers and delegates: Make better connections through AI-powered agendas which fast-tracks discovery and decision-making.

Céline’s focus on scaling NetWorks comes after having consistently developed and championed new models to help transform industry standards – including ticket pricing, monetization options or faster access to new target audiences.
