Following its successful debut in 2026, we invite you to be part of this exclusive event.

THE LOCATION

The PALAIS NIEDERÖSTERREICH is one of the most beautiful and elegant event venues in the heart of Vienna and provides an exclusive setting for a weekend celebrating design, fine craftsmanship and quality.

It offers over 1,000 m² of event space, including four state rooms housing the largest contiguous ceiling fresco in Austria.
