Best Venue Award: VIECON Wins 2025

VIECON wins the “Best Venue” award at the Austrian Event Award 2025, confirming its operational excellence in event delivery. The award recognizes the seamless interaction of infrastructure, processes, and team performance – key factors for successful and reliable events.

For event planners, this means dependable operations, experienced teams, and infrastructure at an international standard – even for complex requirements. An event venue you can rely on.

Behind the scenes of large-scale events in Vienna

For guests, a successful event appears effortless. For experienced event planners, that is exactly the benchmark: reliability, control and security in every detail. What is visible on stage, however, is only the result. The real work begins much earlier – behind the scenes. 
At VIECON Center in Vienna, we work daily with corporate and agency event planners who understand that ambitious concepts can only be realised when the venue, infrastructure and teams are considered from the very beginning.
