Valentin Gongoll has been managing director of STRABI UG since 2014 and has been responsible for the communication and programme departments since 2019. STRABI UG produces live events in the Rhineland between Cologne and Düsseldorf. The focus is on the location “Strabeach” at the lake “Straberger See”. Since 2015, the Strabi Open Air has been held here, which takes place once a year after the bathing season in September. Before Corona, this was purely a DJ festival, but since Corona, live bands and solo acts have also played at the lake. The Strabi Open Air is now known all over western Germany and mainly serves guests from Cologne, Düsseldorf and the surrounding area.

Valentin has a Bachelor of Art in Event and Media Management (HMKW Cologne) and is currently working on another degree in the field of communication in space called ‘Retail Design’ in Düsseldorf (HSD).
