And because outdoors is the new indoors, we have added a harmonious al fresco dimension for events of all sizes by incorporating flexible terrace settings. Islands of greenery provide the perfect ambience for lunch, networking or laid-back coffee breaks.

The Austria Center Vienna is all about innovative and digital solutions:
Your participants will be welcomed by digital backlit poster displays as they make their way to the event centre, and there are an additional 90 m² of LED displays above the main entrance. Inside, around 200 screens ensure digital wayfinding while providing eye-catching branding options - all featuring your event CI.
In the entrance hall, the centrepiece of the venue, innovative LED displays will ensure that your event creates a very special and immersive experience for your participants. With 310 m² of high-resolution LED screens, the polySTAGE is Europe's largest kinetic LED installation. 52 individually controllable LED panels, as well as three additional large LED displays in the entrance hall allow you to create a huge range of custom settings. Whether it's a registration area, exhibition or stage, any setting can be completely transformed within a very short time. More on the interactive landing page at www.polystage.at.
