Trade Fair - sustainable mobile modular-walls

INFORMATIONS  Go on...

We like to come up with something new for our events. We would like to introduce you to our modular walls, which we created and designed as part of a trade fair for our customer - sustainable and high-quality. You can see what we made of it here.

The entire system has a modular structure, is sustainably made from high-quality wood and can be flexibly customised to your individual requirements in a very stylish way.

Coordinated with furniture, decoration and screens, an individual atmosphere can be created in no time at all. Can be perfectly combined OTR-style with our range of e.g. Fatboy & Flux folding furniture. Whether you need an exhibition stand, stage backdrops, market stalls or stylish booths for workshops, get in touch. We have everything here.

ON THE ROCK Startupnight Berlin

As a company, we are happy to be part of the Smart Region Emscher-Lippe, as the combination of physical and digital or hybrid events has been a big part of ON THE ROCK's work not only since the pandemic. 

We are Smart because we can perfectly combine live events with innovative technologies such as mixed reality, metaverse platforms and gamification. With gamification, we manage to extend the interaction and communication beyond an event and to create networking in advance. Likewise, in physical live events, we can motivate people to move, network or even learn.

ON THE ROCK is a single source for the entire event, from conception to format development, organisation, complete media technology and furnishings. We are at home at Zeche Waltrop and have a location for events - physical and digital or hybrid - in the form of the Schlosserei and Dreherei.

30 years ON THE ROCK

INFORMATIONS  Go on...

30 is a magic number...

1991 Winni Petersmann founds ON THE ROCK. With his playful passion to get people in interaction, he transforms his company from a cultural one-man-show to a global player for physical and digital live-communication with more than 30 employees*.

From the first industry events as a technology service provider for clients like McKinsey in the 2000s, ON THE ROCK becomes an agency for Below The Line marketing measures, such as the Camel Circle and the Camel "World of Pleasure". This was followed by numerous events for Deutsche Telekom ranging from the T-Com Haus Clubtour to Germany-wide change conferences and large international meetings and events.

The ability to sense which song, measure or address is the right one at any given moment is still the formula that distinguishes ON THE ROCK to this day - not least thanks to a network of creative professionals from a wide variety of fields, coupled with 100% execution quality even on unfamiliar terrain. This has proven itself again 20 years later in the pandemic, with ON THE ROCK developing digital and virtual live-communication as a new business field.

At the same time, in the spirit of sustainability, ON THE ROCK has successfully established the Dreherei Zeche Waltrop as a great new venue and studio in the countryside with clients such as E.On, Ista, DKV, rku.It and Select AG.

"I never imagined that the "operation of a mobile discotheque", as it says in the trade license, would become such a company. We are looking forward to the next 30 years!" Winni Petersmann, CEO - ON THE ROCK
