Fam Trip "Graz Connects"
March 12–14, 2026
Graz / Austria
Graz – a city that connects
Innovation, regionality and sustainability are not just buzzwords here, but a way of life.
As a MICE destination, Graz impresses with modern locations, short distances and a strong network of experienced partner companies. The city offers ideal conditions for congresses, conferences and corporate events that are professionally implemented and designed with a sense of quality.
With four universities, two technical colleges, and two colleges of higher education, international research, and a dynamic economic landscape—characterized by leading companies in technology, mobility, and life sciences—Graz stands for progress and exchange on equal terms. At the same time, the city remains true to its roots: regionally anchored, enjoyable, and responsible in its use of resources.
Graz combines economic strength with practiced sustainability - and thus creates an environment in which successful events can take place.
