The Bruno Kreisky Forum for International Dialog hires out three rooms in Vienna for conferences, workshops, seminars, meetings and panel discussions. The largest room seats up to 100 people in cinema style. The house stands at Armbrustergasse 15 in the 19th district and is the working home of an independent think tank.
Seminars and company events
The Forum offers its rooms for conferences, workshops, seminars, meetings and panel discussions. It is a place for daytime programs and evening debates. Requests go by email, and the team replies with a detailed offer for your dates.
All lecture rooms can be rebuilt into conference layouts, either a U-shaped table or a square. The venue provides free wifi, a sound and technical system, a projector and screen, flipcharts, a pinboard and a moderation kit. The park-like garden is available for working groups or breaks, and for interviews, conferences, photo shoots, film shoots and readings.
Rooms and capacities
- Large lecture hall, about 100 square meters, with a podium and a lectern. Capacity is 100 people in cinema seating.
- Small lecture hall, about 40 square meters, without a podium. Capacity is 40 people in cinema seating.
- Former living room of Chancellor Bruno Kreisky, about 40 square meters, kept in its original state. It holds two sofas and a group of six leather armchairs, and it is meant for living-room or fireside conversations.
The figures above are the maxima the Forum states for cinema seating. A U-shaped or square layout will hold fewer people, so give your preferred layout and headcount when you write.
Catering
The Forum lists no in-house catering. On request it recommends catering partners, so the choice of caterer for lunches, coffee breaks or a reception is made together with the team.
History and setting
The Forum commemorates Bruno Kreisky, one of the most significant Austrian politicians and chancellors of the 20th century. It describes itself as an independent think-and-do tank, an ideas workshop and a mediation forum. It carries out programs for international organisations, state institutions and non-governmental bodies, and works with universities and schools. Its work covers international politics, democracy, labor and economy, conflict prevention and history. It describes its way of working as competent, transparent and confidential, and it operates across ideological, religious and party lines.
The rooms are therefore part of a house with a public program of debates and exhibitions. Your dates are agreed around that calendar. The house is described by the Forum itself as a venerable building, and access has been adapted for guests with reduced mobility, with a platform lift outside and a lift inside. All rooms are reachable without steps.
