AssCompact Österreich

What AssCompact Österreich does

AssCompact Österreich (AssCompact GmbH) is a privately held Austrian multimedia communication platform serving the insurance, pension, and financial intermediary market. Founded in 2003 as a print trade magazine and incorporated in 2008, the company is headquartered in Micheldorf, Austria, with a media production office at the Gasometer Mediencenter in Vienna. The platform combines daily email newsletters (Marktinfos), a monthly Fachmagazin (~24,000 readers), an E-Paper edition, an ibw-certified IDD continuing education platform (AssCompact Akademie with AssCompact Weiterbildungsplattform), a professional Live TV webinar studio, a mobile event app, and a portfolio of industry events including the flagship Trendtag in Vösendorf (~60 exhibitors), four-location Beratertage regional congresses (1,200 participants in 2025), the Gewerbeversicherungssymposium and Schadensymposium, and the Insurance & Finance Masters golf tournament.

The company monetizes across four streams: per-attendee event fees (EUR 205 broker / EUR 410 standard for Gewerbeversicherungssymposium, EUR 196 for golf rest places), paid print and digital subscriptions, freemium access to daily news and basic training content, and enterprise advertising and exhibition packages sold to major Austrian insurers such as Allianz, UNIQA, Wiener Städtische, Generali, Helvetia, Zurich, DONAU, GRAWE, and ERGO. Since receiving ibw Gütesiegel certification in 2019, the company has certified 134,802 IDD training hours and issued 9,990 certificates with 15,112 independent hours in 2021 alone, making regulatory-compliant education a structural pillar of the business. Strategic GTM partnerships with the Österreichischer Versicherungsmaklerring (ÖVM) and the WKO Fachgruppe Versicherungsmakler embed the company inside the official broker association ecosystem, while a new AssCompact FORUM conference format is launching in 2026.

AssCompact GmbH is a wholly owned subsidiary of Waghubinger GmbH within the family-owned Waghubinger Firmengruppe, with Franz Waghubinger serving as Managing Director and Publisher and Thomas Waghubinger leading technology and digital development for the group. The company operates exclusively in Austria under the DACH banner with no international expansion or external institutional investors indicated in source material.

• Insurance Post: UK insurance industry news, analysis, and events brand serving brokers, insurers, and the Lloyd's/London market. Comparable as a B2B insurance trade media and events operator in a different geography (UK vs. Austria) with overlapping function.
