Lower Austria. The newly founded Lower Austrian Convention Bureau will kick off with 31 partners. The first tasks of the bureau will be to set up an independent information platform with offerings for organisers e.g. in Baden and St. Pölten. “From modern and historical convention centres for up to 2,000 people, a large number of hotels to unusual venues like monasteries, castles, ships and archaeological sites, the CVB has a comprehensive range of offerings,” says Tamara Blaschek. She and Maria Fröch are the contacts in Vienna. www.convention-bureau.at
