Ilka studied musical theatre at the University of Hamburg, which makes her one of the most entertaining presenters today. It is no surprise seeing her surprise guests at events with singing performances. She launched a class known as ''American/English and Movement Sciences'' at the same institution in 2012. That year also saw her win the DVL's ''Runner of the Year'' award. In 2013, she won the ''Young Entrepreneur Award'' thanks to her outstanding activities in coaching and presenting.
Over the years, Ilka has amassed impressive experience, presenting at seminars, conferences, exhibitions, galas, and other events. We must also acknowledge the fact that her presentation is synonymous with big events, most of which allow her to work closely with high-profile executive officers. And when it comes to tackling issues and challenges, she does so with grace, whether in English, Frisian dialect, or German.
Groenewold has featured at numerous events and trade fairs, including IAA, Zukunft Personal, Cloud Expo, IT-Trans, Intermot, Expopharm, Drupa, Control, EU PVSEC, ITB, Hanseschau, Ispo, Intersolar, CeBIT, Nordbau, Norla, Boot, and Hannover Messe.
