Business in the Ballroom – Strategic Networking at the Landespresseball 2025

On 14 November 2025, IT-Personalberatung Dr. Dienst & Wenzel GmbH & Co. KG, represented by Managing Director Manfred Wenzel and Management Consultant Anita De Bellis, attended the 63rd Landespresseball Baden-Württemberg at the Liederhalle Culture and Congress Centre in Stuttgart.

The event is considered one of the most significant social gatherings in the state and brought together around 1,500 guests from business, media and politics. In an elegant and professional setting – from the red carpet and live music to the dance floor – the evening provided ideal conditions for high-quality relationship building.

More than elegance – an evening with entrepreneurial added value

In addition to the stylish atmosphere, the varied show programs – featuring live bands, a DJ and the top act KAMRAD – was especially convincing. However, it was the numerous conversations away from the stage that truly mattered: in lounge areas, over drinks and during breaks between program segments. An environment where networking does not feel like an obligation, but like a personal encounter.

Our perspective

As a specialised IT recruitment consultancy with a focus on digitalisation and automation, we used the evening specifically to intensify dialogue with decision-makers from medium-sized companies.

The conversations made one point very clear:

Those who continue to invest in challenging times will emerge stronger from the crisis.
At the core of future investments lies the digitalisation of business processes, supported by innovative IT, software and artificial intelligence.

We will continue to maintain an active presence in leading business networks – not only as observers, but as drivers of momentum and strategic dialogue partners. In doing so, we recognise developments at an early stage, contribute valuable market and technology insights and consistently align our recruitment and management consulting services with the current and future challenges of our clients.

We connect people with impact, create access to key contacts and support companies in actively shaping change.
