Vienna Launches Meetings App

The Vienna Convention Bureau’s “Meeting Planners’ Guide” gives a comprehensive over-view of Vienna’s meeting infrastructure. The 2013 through 2015 edition has just been published: besides the 96-page print version, for the first time it is also available as an app for the iPad.

At a glance, organizers of congresses, conferences, incentives or events can get an overview of Vienna as leading global conference metropolis, which hosts over 3,000 national and international events every year. The latest edition of the “Vienna Meeting Planners’ Guide” for the years 2013 through 2015 published by the Vienna Tourist Board’s Vienna Convention Bureau (VCB) is also available as an app for the iPad for the first time. It presents about 150 conference locations clearly and precisely in English and German: everything about organization of meetings and relevant service providers, general information about Vienna and the city’s transport facilities as well as suggestions for supporting programs and incentives. “This enables us to give international associations and companies as well as conference organizers, who are planning to hold customized events in Vienna a comprehensive first impression of what Vienna has to offer,” emphasized Christian Mutschlechner, director of the VCB, at the launching of the new application. The launch was held at IMEX in Frankfurt (May 21-23), one of the world’s largest fairs for the conference industry.
