Strong demand – highlights of 2020

Measures to acquire events are bearing fruit, with lots of short notice enquiries coming in and a good mix of national and international events at the Hofburg all pointing towards a very busy year ahead.

The HOFBURG Vienna successfully landed the 2020 spring meeting of the Austrian Society for Hematology and Medical Oncology (OeGHO) and Working Group on Haematological and Oncological Caregivers (AHOP) (19-21 March) and two other respected congresses in the first half of the year: the 2020 International Symposium on Power Semiconductor Devices and ICs (ISPSD) (17-21 May) and the 2020 European Association of Psychosomatic Medicine (EAPM) conference (24-27 June).

We are particularly pleased that the Condé Nast - International Luxury Conference chose the HOFBURG Vienna as the location for its prestigious global luxury and fashion industry gathering. Curated by fashion icon and Vogue online editor Suzy Menkes, this conference will take place from 29-30 April in the state rooms and provide a truly exciting challenge for our dedicated project management team.

Numerous other conferences and meetings related to the association business are already fixed, and the 17,000m² Redoutensaal area is set to become available again in full from 2022, once the Austrian parliament returns to the newly renovated Parliament building on the Ringstrasse. We have already received a number of enquiries for 2022 and beyond, and our sales team are glad to be able to offer the additional capacity!
