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.

Annemarie Shrouder has written a book to help leaders step into awareness of the damage “race” and racism cause and have caused. Her journey illustrates the deep divide that this social construct has created in bodies, in societies—and the world as a whole. Annemarie shares her pain, searching, and ultimately, the beginnings of healing of this divide in herself while chronicling what this divide can look like in companies and organizations. She masterfully illustrates the cost of not having these conversations, of not building community and the healing of stepping into both/and in order to see more.
