Intro

Welcome to Meeting Destination Vienna Vienna impresses with its excellent (meeting) infrastructure, short distances, reliable standards, high service quality and an outstanding range of art and culture. The city combines tradition and modernity - historical flair in a smart and livable city that is constantly evolving. Nearly half of Vienna is made up of green spaces, making our city the greenest metropolis in the world.

New, Better and Different

Organizers can take advantage of a range of funding opportunities, depending on the scheduled dates for their event. The Vienna Meeting Fund 2022-2024 is aimed at organizers of (association) congresses and corporate events who are planning to organize meetings in Vienna between 2022 and 2024. The Vienna Convention Fund 2025+ will offer funding for congresses (scheduled to take place in and after 2025). Both funds are designed to provide assistance with costs incurred when hosting events in Vienna.
