What sets the Vienna Economics Ball apart from all the other balls?
The Vienna Economics Ball is one of the highlights of the ball calendar. It literally speaks to all the guest’s senses: once a year, you can taste, feel, smell, see and hear the Viennese economy within the wonder- ful ambience of the Vienna Hofburg.

Which special features await visitors?
There will be a gourmet mile by the Viennese food industry, a make-up studio to refresh one’s ball make-up, as well as the annual exhibition by Wien Products and the Wiener Kunsthandwerk platform. If you want to try your luck, you can buy tombola tickets for the tombola from the chimney-sweepers association or try your luck at the Casinos Austria roulette table. From big-band sound to the classical ball orchestra, to the disco, the musical programme offered is varied and additionally, at mid- night, a very big surprise awaits our guests.

As the chairman of the state business association and host of the Vienna Economics Ball, you are strictly speaking, working during the event: are you still able to enjoy the evening?
Of course! Not only is the Vienna Economics Ball very exciting, but I also greatly enjoy this incredible ambience and find much pleasure in it.
