Green Meetings & Events in Upper Austria

Creative workspaces in the countryside, mountain backdrops by the water or far-reaching views in the centre of the city - Upper Austria's conference landscape is embedded in the midst of unspoilt nature. And this must be preserved and protected - also in the context of events and meetings. Here we show you how to plan a green meeting, present environmentally certified organisations and answer the most important questions.

Sustainable event organisation in Upper Austria

Congresses, conferences, seminars and events are an important economic factor in Upper Austria. In order to minimise the consumption of resources, the Convention Bureau Upper Austria acts in accordance with the criteria of the Austrian Ecolabel for Green Meetings and Events. We have been awarded the ecolabel for "Green Meetings and Green Events" since June 2022. 

As a licensee, we organise our own events as Green Events & Meetings and, as a hub and driving force for the conference and event industry in Upper Austria, we want to raise awareness and provide information on this topic. In doing so, we are sending an active signal for the environment and a conscious signal to our partners and guests.

The most important criteria for green meetings

  • Environmentally conscious venues and hotels
  • Resource-saving planning and implementation
  • Waste avoidance and separation
  • Regional, seasonal and organic food
  • Environmentally friendly mobility and reduction of CO2 emissions
  • Sustainable and reusable design of exhibition stands
  • Energy-saving and resource-conserving use of technology and staging
  • Social responsibility towards employees and participants
  • Strengthening the regional economy and culture

Every event should leave as few traces as possible and ideally even create added value. This applies to ecological and economic aspects as well as the social component.
