Management changes initiated in key areas at Friedrichshafen Trade Fair

With early planning, Friedrichshafen Trade Fair is setting the course for the upcoming generational change in its management team. Several senior positions will be filled in the course of the year, accompanied by an orderly handover and the involvement of experienced predecessors in an advisory capacity.

New responsibilities in marketing, technology, and accounting

In the marketing department, Julia Glaser will take over from Ludwig Meier in June 2025, who will continue to support the trade fair as a strategic advisor. In the technical department, Roman Bodenmüller has been the new head of technology, service, and transport since April. Among other things, he is responsible for the project to build the largest photovoltaic roof system in the Lake Constance region. There is also a change in accounting: Kerstin Zerull has been head of the accounting and controlling departments since April. Her predecessor, Doris Bentele, will continue to support special projects until her retirement.

Reinforcement in the equestrian sports trade fair division

In October 2025, Christina Uetz will take over project management of the equestrian events “Pferd Bodensee” and “Americana.” The industry expert brings decades of experience in organizing international horse fairs and succeeds interim manager Roland Bosch. With these new appointments, Friedrichshafen Trade Fair is focusing on continuity and long-term expertise – and underlining its claim to be well positioned to meet future challenges, also in terms of organization.
