Accessibility at the CCA
Focus on inclusion
We believe that valuable knowledge is only created through equal exchange. As a conference venue, we are committed to ensuring that all guests have equal access to our services, and we fully comply with the ÖNORM B1600 standard.
Accessibility is a priority at Congress Centrum Alpbach, and we continuously strive to improve our services to create an environment where all guests can participate in events without limitations.
