The entire team was fantastic putting together such a complex hybrid event! The content and speakers were an inspiration and I already look forward to the next event!

Your conference is one of a kind in the sense that everybody attending is engaged, open minded, and easy to approach. You manage to bring together a group of value adding speakers and participants, and imo you are one of the leading organizations in EMEA. Keep it up, happy to have been part of it!

The Odeon Theatre

The Serapions Theater, which moved in 1988 to a part of the stock exchange for agricultural products, gave it’s new venue, revitalized by the ensemble itself, the name Odeon. The building with its Viennese charm and integrated theatre perfectly reflect the capital city of Austria.
