“Many people can organize an event. But what I appreciate about Piero Violante is his pronounced pragmatism. No long hesitation, no unnecessary loops. He manages what needs to be managed. This consistent approach is decisive for the fact that I can blindly rely on his work. In addition, I really appreciate the fact that Piero doesn’t just see himself as an implementer, but can put himself in the position of clients and customers alike. This makes him a valuable advisor to help you find the right rhythm, the right depth and the best balance at events. ”

‘Working with Piero almost spoiled me. As a speaker at several mobility conferences, your approach was so cordial, warm, transparent and very clear, and that I haven’t experienced again. At first I thought Piero was simply good behind his computer; but he is personally and physically very welcoming and moreover enviably professional.”

“Piero was coordinating a large conference I attended recently and his warmth and supportive attitude made my experience very positive and enriching. From the small logistical details to ensuring I was able to connect with the right people on the day, Piero was crucial in helping create an enabling environment for all conference participants and a thus a successful outcome for all involved.”

“As a renowned and globally known winery, we receive a large number of inquiries about guided tours and wine tastings every day, which we unfortunately cannot serve all. However, Mr. Violante fulfills all the requirements that we value in a partner. He has an extensive knowledge of wine and a great passion for the special things in life. His tours are always professionally organized, top-class staff and are always fun for us. We are always happy to welcome Mr. Violante and his guests. ”

Piero Violante supported us with the launch of the Blue Action Fund 2017 in New York during the UN world climate summit and we also worked with Mr. Violante on two trade fair appearances. His work is characterized by a high degree of diplomatic flair, precision, creativity, speed and a large portion of humor. Mr. Violante always fully met our expectations. Due to our very good experience and Mr. Violante’s professionalism, we would work with him again and again.

“I had the pleasure of working with Piero at two different events, in New York and Frankfurt, Germany. On both occasions I had the role as key note speaker. When Piero asked me to write a testimonial about his work I did not hesitate. Perfectly planned, well communicated and clearly structured are the words to describe Pieros work. He is a great problem solver and always finds a quick solution when time is off the essence. He always had a smile on him and at all times kept his cool and professionalism – I hope we will have the opportunity to work together again in the future. ”

“ALIDE, the Latin American Association of Development Financing Institutions, worked with Piero Violante in the organization of multiple roadshows for high level delegates in Germany. It was a great experience to work with Piero as he is one of the most professional project managers we have worked with. He has made our trips valuable learning experiences and his open approach to solving our requests made working with him a pleasure”.

“Piero Violante arranged the workshop on Water Reclamation and Reuse in Development Cooperation at the IWA Water Reuse Conference in Berlin this year. I have been involved as speaker in quite a few similar events, but this proved by far the most interactive engagement with the audience that I have ever experienced. The approach followed and the way the workshop was set up was truly exceptional and allowed for a relaxed yet very informative session which I believe was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone present.”

“Piero Violante is an absolute professional in event management. He works quickly, reliably, penetrates every topic deeply – and is funny and friendly at the same time. A real powerhouse. I have already prepared various small and large international conferences with him in project teams; they were all a success, not least thanks to Piero Violante’s commitment to the last minute.”

During the preparation, organization and implementation of two international insurance conferences in our company, which Piero Violante was entrusted with, Mr. Violante has proven to be an extremely committed, reliable and forward-looking conference manager and sparring partner. The conferences were excellently organized. What sets him apart is his highly professional and very personable demeanor, which enables him to communicate with people at all levels of the hierarchy (in different languages) on an equal footing, even on complex topics and issues. Piero Violante works very independently and brings his own good ideas into the conference organization, thus making a significant contribution to making an event a pleasant experience and success for all participants.

I had the pleasure to work with Piero on a number of occasions. Piero always ensured that any event was professionally organized from the beginning to the end. He was very efficient and managed any arising problems with an enviable coolness and swiftly provided solutions. In addition, Piero has outstanding inter-personal skills, which made working with him even more memorable. I recommend Piero Violante very strongly and without hesitation and would like to thank him for the wonderful and memorable events!

In the past few years I have photographed some of the conferences and meetings organized by Piero Violante. In this area it is not always easy to find exciting pictures – but the events designed by Piero are so lively, atmospheric and content-wise that it was never a problem. It was good to see how Piero took care of the participants and guests, both professionally and personally. During our collaboration, I got to know Piero as a very fair, supportive and generous client. Thanks a lot for this!

Working with Piero Violante not only leads to success, but is also fun. As a team, we prepared and implemented the joint stand of GIZ and KfW at the International Green Week 2019 in Berlin. The cooperation and collaboration was always sincere and warm, never heated. His creativity, flexibility and his friendly manner have always motivated us to master difficult situations with a smile.

Mr Violante was commissioned by KfW as event manager for a public workshop in which BGR was also involved. Thanks to his professional and very structured work, we were able to attract a large number of committed participants for the lectures. The workshop ran smoothly. Although Mr. Violante does not work in our subject area, he was still able to give very helpful input on the content of the workshop.

Im Rahmen der Veranstaltung KfW Development Finance Forum “Getting on the Right Track – the Future of Urban Mobility” hatte ich als einer der Moderatoren und Berater der KfW in der Vorbereitung, die Gelegenheit eng mit Piero zusammen zu arbeiten. Seine Fähigkeit sehr professionell, immer freundlich und zeitnah auf alle Anfragen einzugehen, empfand ich als sehr angenehm. Insbesondere seine ruhige und besonnene Art auch unter dem Druck der laufenden Veranstaltung alle logistischen Herausforderungen in kürzester Zeit zu lösen war sehr beeindruckend. Ich hoffe auch in Zukunft wieder mit ihm zusammen zu arbeiten und würde seine Arbeit jederzeit empfehlen.

Kfw is regularly organising conferences, seminars and stands at fairs.  Some of them aiming at the general public, others bring together experts and policy makers.  Over the past five year I have regularly been working with Piero who made sure that all of these events were rousing successes.  Piero brought to all preparatory teams I was involved a  wealth of experience in organising events, an extraordinary  level of dedication and a pleasant and joyful personality.  Great fun and great events!

I have had the pleasure of working together with Piero in organising a ‘One Health’ conference in Berlin. Piero professionally organised the event from the onset and always provided us with excellent advice on the multitude of decisions we had to take during the process. I much appreciated his short-term flexibility, calmness and humour when things were difficult. I would very happily work with him again in the future.

I had the pleasure of working with Piero on the international launch of the 2021 Global Hunger Index, a report co-authored by Concern Worldwide and Welthungerhilfe and co-launched together with KfW.   Piero brought a wealth of experience, energy and enthusiasm to the joint venture.  He was a constant source of ideas and insights, and supported throughout with a calm courteous professionalism. It was my first experience of working with Piero but hopefully not the last.

Piero Violante hired me as a moderator for a three-day, international conference on the topic of “Remote Monitoring, Verification and Management”.

It was the first time I worked with Piero – I hope it wasn’t the last time. As a long-time, experienced moderator, my work is based on the good cooperation between the client and external consultants and organizers.

I can unreservedly recommend working with Piero, because Piero not only managed to lead the project successfully, he filled it with life, which resulted in a globally successful conference with a lot of knowledge and heart from an abstract topic .

Piero’s work is professional, precise, reliable and he stays calm at all times, even in critical situations and finds the best solution. Piero was always the prudent anchor of the entire project organization, from the first contact to the final billing, I experienced nothing but professionalism.
