Certainly: An event on the scale of uxcon vienna is not sustainable.

‍

We don't want to sugarcoat it, but rather, we want to demonstrate the measures we are implementing now and in the future to make it more sustainable. It's not about claiming to have everything perfect already, but rather an approach to learn and gradually improve step by step.

‍

We’re aware of our responsibility as organizers, so we’re committed to making uxcon vienna as eco-friendly as possible.

‍

Here’s what we’re doing:

‍

♻️ We're in a venue that holds the Austrian Eco-Label.

♻️ We’re offering vegetarian, organic, and eco-friendly catering by our friends from Gaumenfreundinnen.

♻️ We're minimizing unnecessary waste and paper printing.

♻️ We’re avoiding disposable tableware and single-use bottles.

♻️ We’re looking into sustainable options for essential items like conference badges and goodies.

♻️ We’re encouraging everyone to use Vienna’s great public transport.

‍

We try to continuously upgrade these measures as best as we can to ensure we meet our responsibilities.
