IJCAI-ECAI 2022

MESSE WIEN – JULY 23 – 29, 2022

Austropa Interconvention is the official appointed housing office and has made a pre-selection of centrally located hotels close to the conference venue at best possible rates.

Conference Venue – Messe Wien Exhibition and Congress Center

The venue for the 31st International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence and the 25th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence is the Messe Wien Exhibition & Congress Center, which is one of the most modern exhibition and conference centers. With up to 55.000 square meters of exhibition space, which is directly adjacent to the conference center, it offers flexible solutions for events of all kinds. The underground station right in front of the event location means that Messe Wien is excellently connected to Vienna’s public transport network. The city center can be reached by subway in just 10 minutes and the airport in around 30 minutes. Messe Wien Exhibition & Congress Center is centrally located, yet close to Vienna’s famous Prater park and around the corner from the campus of the new Vienna University of Economics and Business, the Sigmund Freud Private University and the modern, green “Viertel Zwei” business and residential area.

If you book a trip, stay or any other service, we collect directly or – if you do not book the stay or travel yourself – indirectly (via third parties f.e. via your employer, other intermediary travel agents, friends and family members or other organizers) the details of your trip or stay or other service (such as arrival and departure time and location, airline, hotel, car rental data) and other information required to complete your travel bookings. We may also collect special categories of information to provide accessibility, food preferences, or other desired services. If necessary, we also require the passport data from travellers. If we book trips for your escorts, we may collect the same data categories from them. Please forward this information to all those affected whose data you provide in a travel booking. Your customer data is stored in your travel or guest profile, where we collect the information required for your travel booking and the provision of our services. You can provide additional information in your travel or guest profile, including frequent flyer program credentials, regulatory identification numbers, and emergency contact information.

If the transmission of personal information is not carried out by the person concerned but by other representatives of the customer, the customer undertakes to inform the data subject about the data transmission to Ruefa GmbH and of the transmission by Ruefa GmbH to the recipient categories as described in the Privacy Statement.

Please find here our complete data protection policy.

Austropa Interconvention acts as agent only and cannot be held responsible for any loss, injury or damage to any person or property whatever the cause may be. The liability of persons or enterprises providing means of transportation or other services, however, remains unaffected. Verkehrsbüro MICE Services cannot be held liable for the partial or entire cancellation or the change of date of the congress. In the event of cancellation or change of date of the congress by the congress organiser, Austropa Interconvention shall not be held liable for any costs incurred or disadvantages suffered, including consequential losses, resulting from the cancellation or change of date.
“Force majeure” shall free both parties from their contractual obligations arising out of this Agreement. The following events are deemed to be force majeure: war, occupation, riot, strike, complete collapse of the public utilities, complete suspension of air traffic (except for reasons of weather conditions or strike), but only if the hotel and its operation are directly concerned by these events.
In the event of cancellation or change of date of the congress, as well as in the event of force majeure, all prior expenses incurred, in particular processing expenses, shall be charged to the company/contractor.
The accommodation provider may provide the guests with adequate substitute accommodation (of the same quality) provided that this is reasonable for the guests, particularly if the difference is insignificant and objectively justified. An objective justification shall, for example, be deemed given if the rooms have become unusable, guests that have already been accommodated prolong their stay, the establishment is overbooked or this becomes necessary due to other important operational activities.
Any extra expenses arising from such substitute accommodation shall be paid by the hotel.
For all disputes arising out of this agreement, both parties to the agreement explicitly submit to the court having subject matter jurisdiction. Vienna shall be the exclusive venue for all disputes out of this Agreement. The laws of Austria shall apply.

Conference Attendee Cancellation Insurance

A lot can happen before the date of the conference: This cancellation insurance pays the cancellation costs if you are unexpectedly unable to attend the conference for an insured reason (e.g. because of sudden illness). Cover is also provided if you have to break off the conference prematurely.
We therefore recommend that you take out Conference Attendee Cancellation Insurance, so that you do not have to pay these costs.

An overview on Conference Attendee Cancellation Insurance can be found here.
