ONevents Success Story:

From Alpbach into the digital world โ€“ Alpbach Financial Symposium

The organizer reinvented the Alpbach financial symposium

In the middle of the Tyrolean Alps, the who's who from financial institutions, business and politics come together every year to exchange information about the latest news from the financial industry. In 2020, the Alpbach Finance Symposium showed what it means to remain flexible - and did pioneering work with its hybrid event planning. The organizers had support from the young company ONevents, which developed its own digital platform for the financial symposium.

Certainly well connected

โ€œEspecially in times of a pandemic, it is particularly important for us as organizers to always know where our guests are and when - in order to ensure their safety,โ€ says Freitag. Assigned seats in every panel and workshop, registration controls and networks with the highest security measures: anyone who held an event in 2020 had to face major challenges. Especially when the audience needs to be there and sit in front of the screens at the same time.

Trade fair stands, lectures and competitions in one app

The tailor-made platform from ONevents is the perfect solution to these challenges, as company founder and managing director Alexander Janda explains: โ€œAnyone who goes to a specialist lecture at the symposium or attends a workshop scans the QR code on the entrance sign with their app. He is immediately connected to other participants โ€“ on site or digitally. Of course, in compliance with the highest data protection conditions.โ€ The trade fair stands are also available in digital form on the platform as well as live in Alpbach. In a competition, those present live compete with the digital guests for the coveted coin. โ€œThe only thing that is not possible for the digital guests is the tried and tested Kneipp joint in the Alpbacher Mรผhlbach โ€“ at least not yet,โ€ jokes online event technician Janda.

What is the Alpbach Financial Symposium?

Since its founding in 1987, the Alpbach Finance Symposium has been the largest financial event for CFOs, CEOs and treasurers of large companies from Austria and with an Austrian connection. In the middle of the Tyrolean Alps, business, politics and financial institutions enter into dialogue with each other. Around 500 participants discuss and find out more in exciting panels, numerous specialist lectures and at the trade fair stands or use the time to network. Since 2020, the financial symposium has been taking place hybrid - and therefore not only on site in Alpbach, but also on an online platform.
