Convention Partner Vorarlberg

What Convention Partner Vorarlberg does

Convention Partner Vorarlberg is the regional convention bureau for the Vorarlberg region of Austria, operating as a division of the state-owned Vorarlberg Tourismus GmbH from its headquarters in Dornbirn (CAMPUS V, Hintere Achmählerstraße 1c). The organization functions as a non-profit intermediary for the MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences, exhibitions) industry, providing event organizers, meeting planners, and congress hosts with end-to-end coordination services including venue booking, attendee registration, accommodation arrangements, framework program design, and consolidated billing. Its core distribution platform is the Venue Finder, a searchable digital tool cataloguing 152 venues across Vorarlberg with filtering by venue type, capacity, sustainability certification, ambiance, and sub-region; a complementary Rahmenprogramme catalog lists 81 activities spanning team-building, culinary, cultural, and outdoor experiences.

Beyond transactional brokerage, the bureau operates a content and research layer intended to elevate event design standards. This includes the 'Grenzenloses Eventdesign' podcast, downloadable Impulspapiere whitepapers, the Labor für Begegnungskultur research lab, educational formats (Lernformate) such as 'Nachhaltig veranstalten' and 'Designing.Events 2025', and the cross-border micelab:bodensee research platform collaborating with competing bureaus around Lake Constance. The Business Meeting Fonds Vorarlberg 2026 introduces a co-funding model for sustainable events. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the entity is funded primarily through its public parent and operates on a professional-services basis with custom quotes, supplemented by the Austrian Convention Bureau national-level affiliation.
