Tourism students at FHWien der WKW visited the Austria Center Vienna (ACV) in the summer semester as part of the specialization “Management of Tourism Transport”.
After a presentation of the conference center by Sales Manager Friedrich Gehmacher, they immediately went on a guided tour. This required stamina, as the ACV offers 21 halls, 134 meeting rooms and over 26,000 m² of exhibition and networking space. Of particular interest was the fact that the ACV can host events for up to 22,800 people, making it the venue for some of the world’s largest congresses.
A highlight of the tour was the presentation of the ACV’s digital infrastructure. There are 200 screens alone for a digital wayfinding system and for flexible branding options. The Polystage – a globally unique LED installation for extraordinary event experiences – was particularly impressive. The possibilities for hybrid events in the virtual studio and the Hybrid Circle format also aroused great interest among future tourism professionals.
