196+ forum Vienna

24 – 26 November 2024

The 196+ forum Vienna is an annual leading hospitality conference for hospitality investment & innovation. Together with the Vienna Tourist Board and Museum Booster we create an international platform that builds bridges and connects experts from various sectors, bringing tourism, culture and hospitality closer together.

During our three days event we provide endless networking opportunities, panel discussions and cross-industry learnings with the main question being: What can we learn from each other and how can we cooperate?

This was 196+ forum Vienna 2023

With last year’s focus being on Sustainability and its three pillars Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) we aimed to create a dynamic event that facilitated cross-industry collaboration, fostered the exchange of innovative ideas and brought together experts from various fields to drive meaningful impact. We wanted industries to exchange best-practice examples through workshops and have our guests leave with tangible benefits.
