The future of FMCG is living longer and living differently.

Today, the ECR Day 2025 transformed the VIECON Congress Center into the hotspot of the FMCG industry. Under this year’s theme “The Longevity Economy – 100 Years of Life”, the event dived deep into one of the biggest megatrends shaping how we consume, live, and make decisions.

🌱 A future-focused event hosted as a Green Meeting
The ECR Day 2025 was certified as a Green Meeting, reflecting the event’s forward-thinking mindset and our venue’s commitment to sustainable event management. At VIECON, we support organizers in making their events greener – from planning to ex*****on.

🤝 Designed for exchange & inspiration
With interactive Content Tours, a dynamic Business Get Together, and the presentation of the ECR Academic Student Award, the event used our flexible spaces to create an atmosphere that encouraged collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and fresh ideas.

Together, these elements made the ECR Day 2025 more than just a conference – it’s a meeting place where industry insights, innovation, and meaningful connections came together.

Day 2 at IBTM in Barcelona and the Austria Stand is buzzing! 🐝

Our team is proudly part of the newly designed Stand, where the "Meet in Austria" strategy comes to life, complete with barista coffee by Degusto Arte and delicious Austrian specialties.

On Monday evening, the team enjoyed a wonderful Exhibitor Evening hosted by Hubertus Rothwangl and the Österreich Werbung team.

Right next to us, our stand neighbors from HOFBURG Vienna add even more energy to the Austria corner.

And tonight from 6pm to 7pm, the Special Networking Hour will bring true Austrian flair to Barcelona, featuring Schlumberger sparkling wine, culinary treats, and an “Austrian Greatest Hits Hour” on the LED wall. Don’t miss it! 🎼

If you’re at IBTM, come visit us at Stand G90! Our team can’t wait to connect, exchange ideas, and share what makes VIECON one of Europe’s most exciting venues.

Still looking for a place to celebrate your christmas party? This is where business meets winter-wonderland-atmosphere ❄️

Alm Advent transforms the area around VIECON Messe Wien into a winter setting full of alpine charm – the perfect space for your corporate christmas gala, press conferences or other cozy team gatherings.

Alm Advent opens this week until 19 December and as location partner, we’re proud to support an event shaped by strong collaboration.

Claudia Wiesner, Managing Partner of Alm Advent, says it best:

“Since our very first year in 2019, we’ve valued the partnership with the VIECON Center. Quick, competent support for every question, and a location that’s easy to reach. ‘With the U-Bahn to the Alm’ couldn’t be more fitting.

A new “Viennese Mini-Forest” has taken root right next to VIECON! 🌳

Vienna’s "Wiener Wäldchen" initiative continues to grow and the newest mini-forest has just been planted on the corner of Messestraße / Nordportalstraße in the 2nd district, directly in front of VIECON Messe Wien. A wonderful addition to our neighborhood! 💚

Together with enthusiastic schoolchildren, created 150 m² of brand-new green space, a small forest based on the Miyawaki method, known for fast growth, high biodiversity, and big impact in compact urban environments.

These mini-forests:

🌱 Improve local climate through shade and cooling

🦋 Strengthen biodiversity by creating new habitats

🌿 Bring nature into dense urban areas

🌞 Offer fresh recreational space for residents and visitors

Vienna now counts 15 Wiener Wäldchen across the city, each one a small but mighty step toward a greener, more climate-resilient future.

Thank you to everyone involved!

What a few first days at Buch Wien 2025! 📚
The halls have been buzzing with energy: from inspiring talks and live readings to thoughtful discussions across the program.

Hall C — newly opened this year — has become a real highlight. The 750 sqm exhibition bookshop has brought together book lovers of all kinds: New Adult fans, kids enjoying the children’s programme, and visitors discovering new titles and authors. Meanwhile, in Hall D, the stages have been continuously busy with a variety of events and an engaged audience.

There are still two days to go, and the program remains packed: from debates and workshops to author signings and numerous opportunities to discover new stories and ideas.

👉 Buch Wien 2025 runs until Sunday. Stop by Halls C and D of the VIECON Center and explore the program yourself.

After three packed days in Porto, Tanja Gruber, Judith Kohout and our Managing Director Martina Candillo are back in Vienna with their key takeaways from the 64th ICCAWorld Congress.

💡 Top Takeaways
The panel discussions with associations and the keynote on artificial intelligence stood out as major highlights. Because they addressed the topics that truly shape today’s work with association clients:

▪️Hidden costs & the challenge of transparency
▪️Rising event production prices
▪️Legacy-driven projects and their long-term impact
▪️The need for full stakeholder engagement throughout the planning process

🎨 Creative Edge Session – WOW Cultural District
One moment that left a lasting impression was the Creative Edge session, where local Porto artists shared personal stories and perspectives. Integrating local voices brought an authentic, emotional layer to the congress. A reminder that destinations are defined not only by venues but by people.

🏅 Incredible Impacts Programme
Another standout: the presentations from the Incredible Impacts Grant & Award Programme. Choosing among the final three projects was truly difficult. Each one showcased remarkable, purpose-driven work that demonstrated how events can create meaningful, lasting change.

🎤 The Copenhagen Denmark Lecture
As always a highlight and this year delivered by Christian Bason, focusing on accessibility, inclusion, and universal design. His deeply personal story went far beyond the topic itself and left the audience visibly moved and inspired.

🎉 iAmsterdam Night – Be Your Best Sporty Self
And of course, unforgettable moments of team spirit: the first photo is a snapshot of the CEC Sports Team at the iAmsterdam Night, an evening full of challenges, energy, creativity, and friendly competition, perfectly hosted by the Amsterdam Convention Bureau.

🤝 Final Thoughts
Above all, what resonated most strongly for Martina, Tanja, and Judith was the authentic, open, and personal exchange with colleagues, partners, and clients. Purposeful Meetings – one of the key themes of this year’s congress – was not just discussed, but experienced and lived.

Obrigada, ICCA. Until next time!

Charting the course with VIECON in Porto!

Our colleagues Tanja Gruber, Judith Kohout and our Managing Director Martina Candillo are currently attending the 64th ICCAWorld Congress in beautiful Porto, representing VIECON as the perfect event location in the heart of Europe.

Under this year’s inspiring theme, “Charting the Course,” the congress is all about navigating the future of the meetings industry.

Sunday kicked off with CSR sessions, the General Assembly, and an electrifying opening keynote: “Igniting the Future: Embracing AI with Passion and Purpose” by Noelle Russell, a multi-award-winning technologist and AI expert who’s led teams at Microsoft, IBM, Accenture, and Amazon Alexa.

Throughout the entire congress, Filomena Cautela, well-known as one of the emcees of the Eurovision Song Contest 2018, is guiding the program with energy, humor, and charm

With the ICCA Congress taking place across multiple venues our team split up to experience as many sessions as possible.

Tanja for example joined the Impact & Sustainability Track, exploring the key question: “How can we evolve sustainability from a checklist to a movement?” 🌱

As Judith summed it up perfectly: “Great networking and exchange with industry colleagues and clients, meeting old friends and making new impactful connections.”

10/11/2025

🎥 4 days. 6,000 attendees. 60+ countries. One shared mission: shaping the future of life sciences.

The BIO-Europe 2025 recap is here and it captures the incredible energy that filled VIECON last week.

Hosted by LISAvienna and organized by EBD Group, the congress once again proved why BIO-Europe is the meeting point for the global biotech, pharma, and investment community.

Thank you for choosing VIECON as your event venue! We loved welcoming you to Vienna and to our beautiful congress center in the heart of Europe.
