Shaping the Future
of the Meeting Industry
with THOMAS WASSHUBER

Please vote for me as your representative in the ICCA Board

About Me

I am married to my wonderful wife named Fourough and have 5 children and 3 grandchildren. My interests: travelling, good food, wines, cooking, and a bit of Golf if my schedule allows it. I want to be active in the ICCA as I believe in the value of associations, networking and sharing of ideas and potentials. I am looking forward to further develop and improve the MSS performance. I want to encourage our younger members to be active, share their goals, and present their ideas. I hope to act as a mentor and connect them to our established members.

My Journey

My Vision

ICCA Meeting Support Sector (MSS) –
my responsibilities and ideas for a successful development
ICCA has made tremendous efforts to develop and support the Meeting Industry. I want to play
an active role within the ICCA to support and shape the future of the Association. Therefore,
the following activities will be in my agenda:

Ongoing membership growth within MSS

Further development of “education-sessions” introduced by Rich Reasons, current MSS-chair.

Promote services that our sector & members
provide to all other ICCA sectors in order to:

  • generate better business opportunities
  • develop innovative cooperation between ICCA members
  • grow an active network to improve collaboration within our industry

Promote and lobby for the interests and concerns of all MSS members in front of the ICCA Board, other sectors, and various stakeholders.

Be an active mentor for each ICCA-MSS member.

Help the ICCA board to further develop and carry out the overall ICCA strategy.

Thomas has a global experience, working not only in Austria but for some years also in the Middle East/Gulf Region - which underlines his global business approach. He is a key partner for many international clients, not only in Vienna and has intense knowledge of his business but also for the economical development in various regions of the world. This is an asset if you would like to represent your sector in the ICCA Board of Directors. And from his thoughts, ideas for ICCA, we discussed I can see that he is really committed to ICCA and ready to contribute and to support the development of our association, driven by James Rees, our president."

Benedikt Binder-Krieglstein
CEO AT REED EXHIBITIONS AUSTRIA

"Over the past 15 years, Steinerlive.Com supplied Messe Wien Exhibitions & Congress Center, which is one of the most successful exhibition and congress venues in Europe, with any technical assets needed, from presentation screens to audio-visual appliances and individual services. Reed Exhibitions, operator of the Messe Wien venue, strongly relies on the excellent services provided throughout this past 15 years by Steinerlive.Com and its team.

Trusted partner at Steinerlive.Com and first contact for any query for us is Thomas Wasshuber, who played a key role for the many successes the Messe Wien experienced in the past years. Furthermore, Thomas Wasshuber is a valued confidant when it comes to conceptually develop, plan and stage events of any size and scope. His excellent experience in the meeting and event industry has proven most effective for us on many occasions. His skills and expertise in understanding the world of events, providing individual services for both Professional Congress Organizers (PCOs) and operators like Reed Exhibitions, make him the ideal candidate for the ICCA board. Thus, Reed Exhibitions and myself would strongly support the election of Thomas Wasshuber into the ICCA Board."
