Vienna - Europe Georegion Conference

Welcome to the first Europe Georegion Conference!

We are happy to announce this conference for the European Georegion, and invite you to Vienna (Austria).

This is a special conference centered on the Europe region but welcoming everyone, aimed at having an amazing time of sharing, education and community gathering.

What is a georegional conference?

A georegional conference is a special type of conference meant to bring the community of the georegion (and beyond) together to learn and grow in a weekend full of seminars, workshops but also good food, activities and adventures!

Overview

The conference will start at 12:00 on Saturday 31 August and is planned to end around 16:00 on Sunday 1 September (to allow participants to fly in/out the same weekend, if they're wish).
There will also be social activities in the morning/evenings for people interested, and a guided tour of the city center.

In order to provide some snacks and refreshments, we will be collecting 15€ from every attendee, directly at the event. If this is a problem due to finincal reasons or other for you, please contact us privately.

There will be attendee and presenter support.
