Exhibition stands in Vienna,
for congresses and trade fairs.
With our own office in town.
Austria Center Vienna, VIECON Messe Wien and the Hofburg: we plan, build and support exhibition stands and congress booths in Vienna, with Public Address Austria on site and a single point of contact.
For us, Vienna is more than a trade fair city, it is a location of our own: Public Address Austria has its office here. Below the city are the venues that host its major congresses and trade fairs.

Public Address Austria looks after projects in Vienna and across Austria on site. The office is on Gemeindeaugasse in the 22nd district, the same district as the Austria Center Vienna, and the team also works out of Hagenbrunn, just north of the city.
Large international congresses mostly take place at the Austria Center Vienna on the U1 line, trade fairs in the halls of VIECON Messe Wien in the Prater, which hosts congresses as well. The Hofburg offers a historic setting for events of up to 4,900 people. Each venue has its own build heights and approval rules, and at the Austria Center they even differ from hall to hall.
For your presence that means: registration, stand approval, logistics, build-up and on-site support are with us, through one point of contact from the first concept to dismantling.

Vienna ranks fourth worldwide in the 2025 ICCA ranking and first for medical congresses
What Vienna as a congress city means for exhibitors: a full program, tight schedules and venues that are booked all year. All the more reason to settle stand approval and delivery early.

From the first idea to dismantling in Vienna, your presence runs through one point of contact, in five steps
Strategy
Understanding your goals, audience, and constraints. We ask the questions your previous agencies didn't.
Brand analysis, brief, venue research, budget framework
Concept
Creative ideation grounded in strategy. Not design for design's sake — design that serves your exhibition goals.
Mood boards, 3D concepts, visitor flow planning
Design
Full 3D visualization before you commit. You see your stand from every angle before a single material is ordered.
3D renderings, material selection, lighting design, technical drawings
Production
The right specialists from our network, coordinated by your PM. Quality control at every checkpoint.
Partner selection, material sourcing, build supervision, logistics planning
Realisation
On-site from build-up to teardown. When the venue changes the floor plan at 9 PM, your PM calls back in 10 minutes with a solution.
Installation, onsite support, dismantling, storage & reuse planning
Our own office in Vienna, vetted partner companies and a certified management system: this is what we bring to Vienna
Our headquarters are in Hochheim am Main; in Austria we work as Public Address Austria, with an office in Vienna and a site in Hagenbrunn. On site you deal with your project manager, not a subcontractor.

Office on Gemeindeaugasse in Vienna's Donaustadt district, site on Logistikstraße in Hagenbrunn near Vienna. From there we look after projects in Vienna and across Austria.
One point of contact
Concept and design, planning, production, logistics, build-up, dismantling and on-site support run through one person, from the first sketch to the last day of dismantling.
100+ vetted supply partners
In Germany and Austria, with several companies per trade. Each one signs our self-declaration on environmental and social criteria.
DIN ISO 20121:2025 certified
Our management system is certified to DIN ISO 20121:2025, for our Hochheim and Hagenbrunn sites. Plus 20 Better Stands certifications since 2023, 13 of them gold and 7 silver.
Stands at medical congresses are covered by confidentiality agreements, which is why we show no photos
Vienna is a city of medical congresses, and our stands at these congresses are covered by an NDA. Product visuals, medical areas and stand designs stay on protected networks. That is why you see no picture from the congress venues here, but the way we work behind it: strict separation of medical and commercial, approval codes, graphic reference checks and documented materials.

Frequently asked questions about exhibition stands in Vienna
What exhibitors ask us most often about Vienna. If your question isn't here, let's talk about it.
Ask us directlyWhich venues host congresses and trade fairs in Vienna?
Large international congresses mostly take place at the Austria Center Vienna on the U1 line, trade fairs in the halls of VIECON Messe Wien in the Prater, which hosts congresses as well. The Hofburg offers a historic setting for events of up to 4,900 people. We plan your stand for the venue your event is held in.
Do you have an office in Vienna?
Yes. Public Address Austria has its office at Gemeindeaugasse 28 in the 22nd district, and the team also works out of Logistikstraße 7 in Hagenbrunn near Vienna. On top of that comes our headquarters in Hochheim am Main.
How high can a stand be at the Austria Center Vienna?
It depends on the hall. The Austria Center gives a build height of 3.5 meters for Halls X1 and X2, 5.5 meters for X3, 6.5 meters for X4 and 7 meters for Hall X5. Your organizer's rules may differ.
When does a stand at VIECON Messe Wien need approval?
One example is Wohnen & Interieur 2026: up to 2.50 meters, a simple stand built from system components needed no approval. Between 2.50 and 6 meters, a visual approval based on the stand elevations was enough. Taller builds and all two-story stands required a floor plan plus front and side elevations. The basis is the Messe Wien technical guidelines, and each organizer can set its own values. We handle the stand approval for you.
Which congresses are coming up in Vienna in 2027?
In March the European Congress of Radiology ECR, in April the DVSE congress at the Hofburg, in May the European Stroke Organisation Conference ESOC at the Austria Center. The calendar further down lists every event in our selection with its next date.
Why don't you show photos of congress stands from Vienna?
The congresses that define Vienna are medical congresses. Those stands are covered by an NDA, so we are not allowed to show them. What we may show publicly is in our projects.
