Set in the heart of Vienna, the banquet evening will bring together conference participants for an enjoyable night of excellent cuisine, inspiring conversations, and a touch of Viennese elegance.
The Wiener Rathaus, completed in 1883 in Neo-Gothic style, is renowned for its grand ceremonial halls and impressive architecture. Its magnificent Festsaal, illuminated by ornate chandeliers and surrounded by historic interiors, offers a truly exceptional atmosphere for an unforgettable conference evening. Stretching over 1,500 square meters, the Festsaal is one of the largest and most prestigious event halls in Austria and has hosted countless official receptions, celebrations, and cultural events throughout its history. With its richly decorated ceilings, elegant arcades, and panoramic views over the Rathausplatz, the hall combines historic grandeur with the vibrant spirit of Vienna.
The banquet provides the perfect setting to continue discussions beyond the conference sessions, connect with fellow researchers and practitioners, and enjoy Vienna’s unique cultural charm together.
The conference banquet is open to all registered main conference delegates.
