A brief overview of the conference venue and anticipated program:

Conference Venue

Our conference venue on Saturday and Sunday is at Raiffeisen Bank International Conference Venue, Am Stadtpark 9, 1030 Wien

The venue is located near the center of Vienna and close to the subway and train station U3-Landstraße/Wien Mitte, which you can also reach directly from the airport by CAT City-Airport Train.

Accomodation

Vienna offers all kinds of accommodation and we recommend you to choose your own accommodation and book your room through the usual international booking systems. Up-to-date and helpful information about the city can be found at the Vienna Tourist Office.

Celebrating ourselves

Our conference should not only mean work, of course, but also celebrating and socializing together, getting to know each other and laughing, enjoying and maybe even dancing together.

In line with this motto, our gala dinner on Saturday evening will take place in a beautiful, unique setting, the Salon Plafond restaurant in the Museum of Applied Arts. The restaurant not only captivates with its tasteful mix of modern interior and historical ambience, it also offers award-winning organic cuisine and pays close attention to sustainability.

We can expect not only a 4-course menu and an excellent selection of drinks but also the Singing Jazz of the Cover Girls, who will accompany our evening with the charm of the legendary 1930s and 1940s – the Golden Era of Swinging Jazz.

Additional program “Vienna Highlights

For all those who come to Vienna already on Friday, we offer the possibility to participate in a guided tour at the UNO in Vienna.
On Sunday we offer you a guided tour at the famous Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien (KHM) through the special exhibition on tapestries “Raffael – Gold and Silk” and a champagne reception in the Kuppelsaal – maybe the perfect ending of your Vienna visit.
