Virtual
Oktoberfest tour

Take a look at the history and behind-the-scenes of the world's largest folk festival. You can do it digitally, too! Because when our Oktoberfest is presented in an entertaining, diverse, and interactive way, you can share a laugh or two together in front of the screen!
I'd be happy to take you on a stroll from tent to tent, as all the large beer castles have their own special flair, which I'd love to share with you. And, of course, if you'd like, we can also check out one or two of the rides together.
Learn about the origins of this folk festival tradition and find out how small beer stalls became today's beer temples, which attractions attracted Munich residents to the festival grounds 100 years ago, what a long family tradition lies behind some of the rides, and what the first real Oktoberfest hit was.

Impressions

Description:

Whether it's a small department meeting or a conference with many participants, this is guaranteed to bring a little cheer to your home or office. As an expert, I can bring that very special Oktoberfest atmosphere to you. I'd be happy to advise you in advance so that we can make our meeting with your business partners an unforgettable experience. And if you're planning an international meeting, this virtual journey is also available in English.

I usually provide you with access to the Zoom meeting system via a link. Or we can work with your company's standard meeting software, which allows you to connect me to your event. I should also have the option to share my presentation via your software. But don't be afraid of a dry presentation! A relaxed atmosphere, funny anecdotes, and the occasional guessing question will keep participants engaged, even virtually. And if we then "tap into the conversation" together, nothing stands in the way of a successful remote meeting! So cheers!

The most important things in brief:

"For one of my digital conferences, I was looking for a virtual Oktoberfest tour. Grit Ranft immediately embraced this unique challenge, perfectly adapting to the technology and the virtual world. With her charming manner and stimulating questions, she knew how to interactively engage our customers and maintain the excitement. The photos of the Wiesn also made the tour entertaining and vividly visualized it – almost as if you were actually there! Grit Ranft is highly recommended – not only in the real world, but also in the virtual world.

"I recently had the opportunity to participate in a virtual Oktoberfest tour. What could it possibly be, online and without the live experience? I thought to myself beforehand, and I was curious to see how it would reach the viewers via Zoom.
I was proven wrong! Grit Ranft managed to conjure up an almost LIVE Oktoberfest experience right on my desk. This was achieved partly through excellently prepared sound and video technology and partly through the truly amazing stories she brought with her. She knows her stuff and has a lot to say about the Wiesn hosts and the background, and she does it all in a charming and entertaining way. Online Oktoberfest tour with Grit Ranft – 5 stars from me and an absolute recommendation!

"Due to the current situation, we have changed the format of our annual NetApp Executive event, which includes a subsequent visit to the Oktoberfest, at short notice.

Grit Ranft provided us with highly professional support through an interactive Oktoberfest program. Even seasoned Oktoberfest visitors were extremely impressed by Grit's interesting and imaginative anecdotes about the world's largest folk festival. Our customers' feedback was consistently positive, and we look forward to hopefully seeing them again in person at the 2021 Oktoberfest.

"With Oktoberfest canceled for the second time, the AMICALE Munich of the European Patent Office decided to organize at least a Bavarian week as a small compensation for the Wiesn. One element was the virtual Wiesn tour with Ms. Ranft.

I'm a Munich native, and for us, the Oktoberfest is truly a family tradition and an integral part of the festivities. Yet, there was much I didn't know before, and which I will remember forever. Ms. Ranft made the tour interactive and entertaining with quiz questions (via chat and a Zoom survey). The presentation featured many beautiful images and interesting videos. Thank you so much, Ms. Ranft, for this informative and enjoyable evening!

Stefanie Most, Examiner Directorate at Amicale, the social network of the European Patent Office, September 2021
