It’s time for the TEDAI Opening Gala! We’ll kick off the conference with a breathtaking Opening Gala at one of Vienna’s most beautiful ball venues: Kursalon Hübner. This is an elegant affair, so feel free to dress to impress! Think sophisticated and chic — cocktail dresses, suits and ties are encouraged. Try out delicious finger food, snacks and drinks as we mingle and celebrate together on the bustling dancefloor or the quite garden terraces.
