Vienna has highlighted itself as a premier conference destination, hosting a #record 6,500 congresses and corporate events in 2023, a 49% increase over the previous year and 18% more than the record-setting year of 2019. With these events resulting in 1,591,000 overnight stays — a 34% increase from 2022 — Vienna's success in revitalising its conference sector post-pandemic is evident.   In a significant move demonstrating the commitment to #sustainability and industry support, the Stadt Wien has continued the extension of the #ViennaMeetingFund with an additional €4 million investment for the period 2025-2028.   From 2025, the maximum funding from the Vienna Meeting Fund of 60,000 euros available per event, will require the event to be held as a #GreenMeeting or #EcoEvent. Funding is aimed at #InternationalMeetings that take place outside the peak months of May, June, September, or October.   For more information on the Vienna Meeting Fund as well as to download the complete #ViennaMeetingIndustryReport 2023, visit: meeting.vienna.info

** Throwback Thursday ** Let's take a look at our many conferences over the years. We organized one in 2018 and six in 2022 - thanks to the support of our members and growing CAASA team! Today we look at the in-person version of the CAASA Alternative Perspectives conference, held in Vancouver, BC. What a rush to get back to BC for an event (Paul and I are from there) and it was perfect weather for the event. We continued to innovate, creating the Start-up Round-up where 11 of our Start-up Founder members met with 2 of the 11 angels and VCs taking part in this session - some coming from as far away as the UAE, the Bahamas, and NYC! They had 2x30-mins pitch sessions and it was actually a chore to move them to the next pairing after half an hour - they were all quite interested in speaking longer. Of course the weather was perfect in YVR…something that every Vancouverite knows is a black swan and a way to convince tourists that they need to return ASAP. That said, we look to return in 2023. You can view the program here: https://lnkd.in/ge-xgDNH All of our publications are available here: https://lnkd.in/eeG_9et We would like to note that at all of our conferences we strive for a 40% investors, 40% managers, and 20% service provider attendee break-down and have achieved this in virtually all cases. This, we believe, is a golden ratio that provides value to all attendees. We also like to keep our conferences smaller (200-250 max) and would only increase delegate maximums if we have the requisite (40%+) block of investors already registered. We're in this for the long-haul and for member value!
