The Conference Dinner will take place at Fuhrgassl-Huber, a typical Viennese “Buschenschank” wine tavern in the middle of the Viennese vineyards. It is located in the heart of Neustift am Walde, between vineyards and the Vienna Woods. With cozy rooms, excellent wines and the romantic inner courtyard, Fuhrgassl-Huber is one of the most popular wine taverns in Vienna.
The tavern can be reached within 25-30 minutes by public transport from the conference venue (direct bus stop in front of the restaurant). More information here.
Accomodation
Vienna is a popular destination chosen both from tourists and conferences’ hosts, and as such, it offers a wide range of hotels catering to various budgets and preferences.
We can recommend a hotel in close proximity to the conference venue that also offers special prices for conference participants. The number of rooms is limited; therefore, it is on a first-come first-serve basis.
