The best Austrian events of 2024 were honored on Tuesday evening at the annual Austrian Event Award Gala. Airpower24, a major event organized by the Austrian Armed Forces under the motto "Flying. Freedom. Enthusiasm," received a "Nominee" certificate in the "Public Corporate Events" category, making it one of the top five events of its kind last year. The awards ceremony took place in front of over 400 guests from the communications industry at the Airport Convention Center.
Defense Minister Klaudia Tanner expressed her pride at this recognition. She viewed the nomination as proof that the Austrian Armed Forces is at the cutting edge of communication and the conception of its events. The award honors the commitment and hard work that went into organizing this project.
The Austrian Event Award has been presented since 1996 to recognize outstanding achievements in the Austrian live marketing and event industry. A panel of experts from the communications and event industries, newly constituted each year, evaluates the submissions based on criteria such as creativity, impact, and execution. The nomination of Airpower24 underscores the importance of high-profile events for organizations like the Austrian Armed Forces. Airpower, which takes place regularly in Zeltweg, Styria, is one of the largest air shows in Europe and attracts a wide audience.
