To conclude the conference, one more surprise: a slam poet steps onto the stage. Anticipatory silence — and suddenly a firework of words that wittily and elegantly brings together the events of the day.

Since 2014, Bas Böttcher has regularly appeared as a professional word artist, captivating conference audiences with live summaries known as Poetic Recording. In an artistic way, Poetic Recording looks back and creates moments of remembrance. Content from the conference is taken up and reflected through playful use of language.

What is particularly impressive about Poetic Recording is that the conference is documented in real time. In a flash, the experiences of the day are transformed into a work of art. Participants recognize themselves in quotes and contributions woven into the performance.

Bas’ clients include, among others, Kick Consulting, the German Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs, Sopra Steria, Humboldt University, the Commission for Occupational Safety and Standardization, KAS, and SV-Veranstaltungen.
