This was the question posed to Bachelor’s students of Tourism & Hospitality Management in the Event & Congress Management specialization. They found the answer at Mondial, one of the leading companies in the field of event and congress organization. Experienced project managers such as Sandra Wagner (also graduate of the study program) were on hand to answer our students’ questions.
Together with lecturer Michaela Schedlbauer-Zippusch, Managing Director of the Austrian Convention Bureau, our Tourism & Hospitality Management students were able to take a look behind the scenes at Mondial and familiarize themselves with the world of congress management. From innovative concepts to the planning of large events – the excursion was full of exciting insights.
Stefan Walter, Managing Director at Mondial Congress, gave a presentation on the diverse tasks of a congress manager. The students were also given more detailed insights into the work of project managers by Jeannine Klaban, Grit Költringer and Sandra Wagner. Their experience and expertise showed the students how varied and demanding this field is.
The opportunity to work with experienced professionals from the field and learn first-hand was a valuable experience for our future event & congress managers.
