🚀 Von der Theorie zur Praxis – und das mit Bestnoten! Unser Lehrling Abraham hat sein 3. Lehrjahr in der Informationstechnologie – Systemtechnik mit ausgezeichnetem Erfolg abgeschlossen! 💪 Wir könnten nicht stolzer sein! Lehrlinge wie Abraham sind der beste Beweis, dass junge Talente jede Firma bereichern. 💡 Denn während überall vom Fachkräftemangel die Rede ist, setzen wir auf Nachwuchs und zeigen: Ausbilden statt Ausreden! Als Dankeschön für seine harte Arbeit überreichten Martin Posch (Leitung Personal Wien Holding GmbH) und Katharina Weishaupt (Geschäftsführerin VIECON) Abraham einen Wien Holding-Rucksack mit vielen coolen Goodies darin. Lieber Abraham, wir freuen uns, dich auf deinem Weg begleiten zu dürfen und sind uns sicher, dass auch dein Lehrabschluss im nächsten Jahr ein voller Erfolg sein wird! ✨

Die Ordnungs-Queen Marie Kondō hätte es nicht besser hinbekommen! 👏 Wenn ein Unternehmen den Eigentümer wechselt, hat vor allem die IT-Abteilung erstmal alle Hände voll zu tun. Netzwerk-Infrastruktur erneuern, Systeme umstellen – und eine einmalige Gelegenheit nutzen: die Serverräume endlich von ihrem wilden Kabel-Dschungel zu befreien. 🌿🔌 Dominik und Abraham haben sich der Mission „Kabelsalat adé“ angenommen und das Chaos in pure Ordnung verwandelt. Das Ergebnis? Seht selbst – Vorher/Nachher-Bilder sprechen mehr als tausend Worte. 📸 „In den letzten Jahren sind immer mehr Kabel hinzugekommen, das reinste Chaos. Jetzt haben wir ein übersichtliches Burgersystem, bestehend aus Panel, Switch und Panel. Der Vorteil ist, dass die Kabel nun deutlich kürzer sind, dadurch viel einfacher nachzuverfolgen sind und weniger Platz wegnehmen“, erklärt uns Dominik. Danke an unser IT-Team für diesen heldenhaften Einsatz! 💪

🚀 VIECON: Vienna strengthens its position as a global congress hub! Messe Wien is now operating under its new brand, VIECON – Vienna Convention & Congress Center, reinforcing its international presence.🌍 The previous name had become less suitable for an international audience, explains Managing Director Katharina Weishaupt: “Not only was there a language barrier, but congresses and conferences now generate significantly more revenue than the traditional trade fair business.” With over 350,000 secured overnight stays for 2025 and high-profile events such as the ESCMID - European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, Vienna remains a top destination in the global congress industry. City Councillor for Economic Affairs Peter Hanke emphasizes: “Our economy benefits immensely from Vienna being one of the most popular international congress destinations.” Managing Director Martina Candillo adds: “As VIECON, we are now in a much stronger position to present our offerings globally and reach key target markets.” The economic impact is significant, as congress attendees spend €550 per day, twice as much as leisure tourists – boosting gastronomy, hospitality, and the service sector. Oliver Stribl, Managing Director of Wien Holding GmbH, highlights: “The confirmed events at VIECON alone will generate over 350,000 overnight stays this year. Every euro invested here creates €15 in added value, demonstrating how vital the congress industry is for Vienna.” Read the full press release here: GER: https://lnkd.in/dfxXHP-b ENG: https://lnkd.in/drWXXD2M
