What does a global robotics conference actually look like?

This week, VIECON has been filled with thousands of conversations, ideas and encounters. Researchers discussing future technologies, students presenting their work, industry leaders exploring new solutions and robotics experts connecting across disciplines and continents.

Delivered in Vienna by AIM Group Austria, the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) 2026 brought together more than 9,000 members of the international robotics community. Across workshops, scientific sessions, industry exhibitions, competitions and poster presentations, one thing became clear: Innovation is not created by technology alone. It happens when people come together to challenge ideas, share knowledge and build new connections.

For a few days, VIECON has become a place where exactly that happens.

Bonus question for everyone who makes it to the last slide: can you guess the purpose of that robot?

Two special days back-to-back: Yesterday was World Exhibition Day. Today is World Environment Day and Austria’s Day of the Ecolabel.

Both matter deeply to us at VIECON.

Because exhibitions, congresses and events create opportunities for innovation, knowledge exchange, economic impact. But they also come with a responsibility to reduce their environmental footprint wherever possible.

That’s why sustainability is not a side project at VIECON. It is part of how we operate our venue and support our clients every day.

From certifying Green Meetings and Green Events, to running on 100% renewable electricity, completing our LED upgrade across 73,000 m², expanding green spaces around the venue, installing a new photovoltaic system, and even welcoming 60,000 bees as part of our BEECON project — we are continuously working to make our venue more sustainable. 🌱🐝

Swipe through the carousel for a closer look at some of the initiatives currently shaping VIECON.

02/06/2026

More than 8,000 international experts are currently coming together at VIECON Messe Wien for ICRA 2026, one of the world’s leading conferences for robotics and automation.

What makes events like this so relevant is not only the technology itself, but the exchange happening around it. Researchers, industry leaders and young talents meeting in one place, discussing ideas, building collaborations and shaping future developments together.

As Prof. Markus Vincze from and Congress Chair of ICRA 2026 puts it: many international research projects and collaborations begin exactly through these personal encounters.

From workshops and scientific sessions to Industry Exhibitions, Competition Areas and thousands of research posters, ICRA is transforming VIECON Messe Wien this week into a global platform for robotics, AI and technological exchange.

Sometimes, doing good starts with cleaning out a drawer 🥰

Over the past weeks, our VIECON colleagues collected donations for the Zwei Wien Charity Flea Market. And the result was truly impressive. Toys, decorations, household items and many other treasures quickly filled up our collection area.

When Ricardo Rikal from Viertel Zwei Management stopped by to pick everything up, he was genuinely overwhelmed by the amount of donations our team had gathered. 🙌

The donated items will be sold at the Viertel Zwei Charity Flea Market on 11 June, where visitors can browse, discover hidden gems and support a great cause at the same time.

Because 100% of the proceeds will be donated to St. Anna Kinderspital. ❤️‍🩹
A huge thank you to everyone at VIECON who contributed!

Please come and shop for a good cause:

How can scientific research create real impact beyond conference halls?

This weekend, Vienna’s Karlsplatz becomes exactly that kind of space. Before VIECON welcomes the International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA 2026) with more than 8,000 international experts next week, the “Festival der Roboter” brings robotics directly into the city: https://www.roboterinwien.com/

Humanoid robots, autonomous systems, live demonstrations, talks and hands-on experiences make current developments in robotics accessible for everyone in the middle of public space. It is organised by Technische Universität Wien and AIM Group Austria, and conceptually developed by UIV Urban Innovation Vienna.

For us, this is a strong example of how international conferences can create knowledge transfer far beyond the venue itself. Not only by connecting researchers and industry experts, but by opening up future technologies to the wider public and inspiring the next generation.

Vienna will become a global meeting point for the robotics community over the coming days — and it all starts this weekend at Karlsplatz. 🤖

Eurovision Song Contest may look glamorous on stage. But behind the scenes? Controlled chaos 💀

That’s why our IT colleagues Niki, Andi, Dominik & Abraham were right in the middle of the action at this year’s ESC in Wiener Stadthalle.

🔌 Dominik supported the technical setup by configuring switches and access points, laying cables and helping with the overall infrastructure build-up.

📡 Abraham focused on mounting and cabling access points while making sure the entire technical network stayed almost completely invisible to visitors.

🛠️ Niki stepped in as an experienced troubleshooter, supporting technical coordination and solving unexpected issues behind the scenes.

💻 Andi worked on the interface between accreditation data and personalized WLAN access systems.

Would they do it again if Eurovision returns to Vienna? The answer from all of them was very clear: absolutely. 🙌

Today marks the final day of SLAS Europe 2026 at VIECON. From scientific sessions and keynotes to a large‑scale exhibition with around 140 international exhibitors, the format requires a venue where congress and exhibition work seamlessly side by side.

“VIECON was chosen for this event due to the venue’s unique blend of congress center and exhibition facilities,” explains Amy Wilkinson Director, Global Events & Corporate Partnerships at Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening . With three parallel scientific tracks, exhibitor tutorials, keynote sessions and more than 6,500 sqm of exhibition space, integrated infrastructure isn’t a nice‑to‑have – it’s essential.

And beyond spaces and square meters, it’s the human side that stands out. “The service and the people, definitely. It has been such a pleasure working with the VIECON team and the facility and city partners supporting VIECON.”

Thank you to SLAS Europe for trusting VIECON as the setting for a complex, international conference and exhibition.

Big HELLOOOOO from IMEX Frankfurt 👋

Our colleagues Sarah Staudinger-Dobias, Karin Zechner and Kathrin Kremser are currently representing VIECON at the Austria Stand in Hall 8, C160.

It's just day one, but already there’s a fantastic atmosphere and lots of great conversations happening here.

You’re at too? Then come by, spin the wheel and try your luck at winning a great prize 🎡

And here’s another hot tip (quite literally):
The Austria Stand definitely has the best coffee at the entire IMEX. No surprise coming from a country where coffeehouse culture is UNESCO World Heritage. ☕😉

We’re looking forward to seeing you!
