Overview
ICMA’s Chief Executive, Bryan Pascoe, opened the event with an update on the latest priorities and activities. In addition, Joachim Heppe, Chair and Petra Wehlert, Vice Chair of the ICMA German Region, addressed key regional market developments. This event provided an opportunity to introduce Ralph Ockert, Head of Syndicate at DZ Bank who took on the Chair position from the 1st of November, in light of Mr. Heppe’s retirement.
Long-time weather presenter Tim Frühling took attendees behind the scenes of the ARD Weather Competence Center at Hessischer Rundfunk. From Frankfurt, the department supplies ARD and many regional third-party television programs with weather forecasts, graphics and expert assessments of storms, disasters and climate change. He revealed why the weather forecast on television and radio is sometimes more than casual chat about sun and clouds, how a forecast is created from the raw data - and why the word "beautiful" is taboo.
