The Team
EXPOLINGUA: Tradition since 1988 – The future starts now!
For 36 years, the name EXPOLINGUA has stood for the fascination with languages, cultural diversity, international education, and learning and study experiences abroad. The fair was founded in 1988 by Karl Badde in Frankfurt. His daughter, Rebecca Stromeyer, co-managing director of ICEF, moved the fair to Berlin in 1992. She immediately won the hearts of language and culture enthusiasts in Berlin and far beyond. Under the direction of Rebecca Stromeyer and her company ICWE, EXPOLINGUA developed into the annual meeting point of the language industry, showcasing current trends and innovative tools in the field: a diverse exhibition, a rich program of lectures and performances, and the joy of languages and cultures attracted more and more enthusiastic visitors.
Passion for languages and international experiences has always been a marker of the people behind the fair; and we have been fortunate enough to be able to turn our hobby into our profession. With Rebecca's assistance we got a chance to run the exhibition as a separate company named EXPOLINGUA GmbH. Because of this, we've been able to focus on our project over the whole year, develop new formats, reflect up-to-date ideas and find new partnerships: making EXPOLINGUA even more informative, exciting and inspiring!
The current team of EXPOLINGUA reflects the international focus of the event: we are from Australia, Bangladesh, Belarus, the Czech Republic, Germany, Greece, Kazakhstan, Poland, Russia, Spain and the USA!
Head organisers
Sebastian Schattenmann: Educated in philosophy and literature, Sebastian has been in event management for 12 years. He loves music and travelling and lives with his family in Prague and Berlin – although he's still working on his Czech skills ;)
Natascha Moser: Languages, people, and new perspectives have shaped her life from an early age. As the founder of German Language Coach, she has supported people from around the world on their language journey. Having lived abroad for several years, she knows that language is about much more than words — it creates connection, trust, and new opportunities. By taking over EXPOLINGUA GmbH, she aims to build a place where people, ideas, and cultures come together, and where communication opens the door to new possibilities..
