Extensive program of events strengthens Vienna as a center for business and science
Vienna, March 18, 2025 – The coming months will bring a first-class program of events to VIECON – Vienna Congress & Convention Center, which belongs to Wien Holding via WSE Wiener Standortentwicklung and is Vienna's leading event center. Until June 2025, VIECON expects a wide-ranging congress program with topics ranging from medicine and science to technology and innovation.
"The wide range of congresses and specialist events that we will be welcoming over the coming months underscores VIECON's importance as an essential platform for knowledge and economic transfer. With almost 46,500 visitors expected and around 189,000 overnight stays generated, we are sustainably strengthening Vienna as a tourism and business location," emphasizes Oliver Stribl, Managing Director of Wiener Holding.
“Our event center acts as a hub between science, business, and society. The congresses contribute to Vienna's continued growth as a location for innovation,” says Katharina Weishaupt, Managing Director of VIECON, emphasizing the importance of the location for knowledge transfer.
Successful start to the year with popular attractions
VIECON welcomed several public exhibitions at the beginning of the year: The Ferien-Messe Wien, held for the first time in conjunction with the Vienna Drive special exhibition, as well as the Wohnen & Interieur and WIM – Wiener Immobilienmesse, all organized by Austrian Exhibition Experts, were very well received. The Hyrox also put the spotlight on the sports sector. The ASTA River Cruise Expo demonstrated how well the synergies within Wien Holding can be exploited: while the exhibition and talks took place in Hall D, the latest river cruise ships were presented at the same time in Schifffahrtszentrum Donauraum.
“The diversity of topics covered at VIECON demonstrates the enormous range of socially relevant content and underscores our role as an internationally significant platform for knowledge transfer and innovation,” explains Martina Candillo, Managing Director of VIECON.
