Hofburg Conference Centre.

An international conference and event centre in the heart of the capital

The sprawling Hofburg complex was the bastion of the Habsburg monarchs, who ruled over Austria – and at times many other regions of Europe – for more than six centuries, from 1276 until the downfall of the Habsburgs in 1918. All meetings, exhibits, poster sessions and the Welcome Reception will take place at the Hofburg.

The Vienna City Hall

The City Hall is one of the most splendid amongst the numerous monumental buildings. Designed by Friedrich Schmidt (1825-1891), it was erected between 1872 and 1883. The City Hall was built in gothical style, with a tower similar to gothic cathedrals. The Mayor of Vienna has graciously provided the City Hall as the venue for Tuesday evening’s final night networking event, waiving the rental costs.
