An important note to all VATUSA members:
I am pleased to join with the organizers of the VATSIM Global Conference (W14) by personally inviting you to come join the fun, festivities, and fellowship in person!
The VATSIM Global Conference is a wonderful way for members to increase the enjoyment of our hobby by not only celebrating it with fellow enthusiasts from around the world, but also by learning more about our hobby, and expanding our friendships across the world.
VATSIM is proud to announce that Vienna, Austria has been selected as the venue for the next VATSIM Global Conference (W14). Scheduled to take place 9 - 11 May 2014, the organizers have been able to secure one of Vienna’s premier locations for this conference. The main conference activities will be conducted from the comfort and luxury of the Sky Stage and The Multimedia Stage at the prestigious venue “The Stage”. The Stage offers breathtaking panoramic views, modern architecture, excellent transport connections, state of the art technology equipment and much more.
The conference includes a banquet awards-dinner on Saturday night within the relaxing atmosphere of the Luftburg restaurant. The restaurant Luftburg is situated in the green heart of Vienna’s Prater, alongside its interesting and fun attractions in the historic amusement park. The Luftburg is well known for its traditional Austrian food and depending upon the weather, we may optionally dine outside in the beautiful garden area or indoors within the comfortable confines of the restaurant.
The team behind the organizing of this great event have been able to obtain special rates at several of the major hotels in the area, all offering their own level of comfort and service with excellent access to the conference venue. Members wishing to attend the VATSIM Vienna (W14) global conference will need to book their own accommodation, booking forms and web links to suggested hotels can be found on the conference website,
