Servus! Meet the Homebase
Viennese vibes in networking heaven
ViennaUP is a decentralized festival, with events taking place all over town. After a busy day, participants need a central space to re-connect with others and kick back just a little as the sun goes down. Enter the Homebase.
This is a festival info point, outdoor networking area and easy-to-find meeting spot for all participants. Located across from the magnificent Karlskirche (St. Charles’ Church) and the newly re-opened Wien Museum, the space is outfitted with leisurely seating and natural shade (a.k.a. trees), surrounded by the gentle hubbub of the city.
At the intersection of U-Bahn lines U1, U2 and U4, as well as several key tram and bus lines, Karlsplatz is truly a central hub for Viennese life – making it super easy to reach. Indeed, this is a place where many locals come to catch some sun or meet up for a night out.
As in previous years, participants with a ViennaUP wristband will be able to sample top-notch Viennese wine, beer and delicacies.
The programme will give you a taste (quite literally) of the real Vienna: cosmopolitan, forward-looking and yet brimming with tradition.
Stay tuned for what's going on at the Homebase at ViennaUP 2025 - more details coming soon!
