Best Trade Shows in Austria

179 tracked shows, ranked by exhibitor count

Austria's exhibition sector is modest in scale beside neighbouring Germany, but Vienna ranks among the world's leading cities for international congresses and association meetings. Its flagship venue, Messe Wien, offers roughly 55,000 square metres of hall space adjoining a congress centre. The export-driven economy leans on machinery and vehicles, which make up around 37 percent of goods exports, alongside a fast-growing chemicals and pharmaceuticals sector. Principal fair cities include Vienna, Salzburg, Graz and Wels; Salzburg's "Alles für den Gast," running since 1970, is one of the Alpine region's foremost hospitality and gastronomy fairs.
