The 152 venues are divided into five sections: congress centers (3), conference hotels (84), historic venues (39), modern venues (18) and universities (8). There are short descriptions of all these, as well as photographs, and clear floor plans. The new edition includes eighteen new event venues, including Palais Schönburg, the Schönbrunn conference center, and the Phoenix Supperclub Vienna.

Also new in the guide is an “Incentive Ideas" section, with suggestions ranging from themed walks to gala dinners. Contact information for over a hundred useful suppliers (event equipment, furniture rental, giveaways, airport transfers, etc.) rounds out the Vienna Meeting Planners´ Guide. The image layout was completed out in cooperation with the Federal Training and Research Institute of Graphic Arts. The photographs by photographers Maria Noisternig and Hanna Tögel are along the lines of “business as unusual.” A total of 10,000 copies of the 2010-2012 Meeting Planners’ Guide have been printed.

The guide is available from the Vienna Convention Bureau (phone: +43-1-211 14-521, e-mail: convention@vienna.info).
