Is there a preferred accommodation?

We have partner hotels directly in the city centre of Kitzbühel with special rates for our partners, sponsors, and participants.

Of course, Kitzbühel offers a variety of hotels, guesthouses, and accommodation options. Please make sure when booking that your accommodation is truly located in the town center, so you can easily reach everything on foot.

Can I buy a ticket on site and register there?

Yes, you can! It is not recommended as we use the registrations to coordinate things ahead of time. At the start of the day, we will have check-in locations for those that have already completed registration, where you can purchase a ticket if you have not done so already.

Where can I find information about the agenda and schedule?

The agenda and schedule are available on the B2Match App, but it is also available on the website. In addition, any specific highlights will be posted to our social media pages (LinkedIn and Instagram).

How do I get to the different venues?

There will be a meeting point posted for each event, where we will meet ahead of time to proceed to the event as a group. Transportation to/from the mountain chalets is provided.

How do I register for the different Mountain Chalets and other activities?

You can register to all the panels and other events via the B2Match. Some sessions have limited capacities so we invite you to sign up as soon as you can and if you wish to not attend, we would appreciate if you deregistered so that someone else can have the chance to attend the session.

If I have any questions, who can I contact?

Please contact Julia Gülden-Zeisberger via julia@venionaire.com! She will be happy to answer any questions you may have via email.

Is there a dress code for the event?

There is no specific dress code for the event, except for the Gala Dinner, which is semi-formal wear as befitting of a Gala Dinner. We invite you to participate in the traditional clothing of Austria by wearing Lederhosen or a Dirndl but it is not mandatory.

Where do I check in for the event on site?

The start of each day will feature a registration/check-in event to ensure that participants have arrived for the World Venture Forum. However, each individual event does not require further registration/check-in. It is up to you to participate in each event as you see fit.

How can I request my dietary requirements?

For the Gala Dinner, vegan/vegetarian food will be provided, and available for request directly on site. For any additional dietary requirements for other events, please contact Julia Gülden-Zeisberger via julia@venionaire.com!

Can my spouse and children attend too?

Yes, you can purchase add-on tickets for your family. Children under 12 years old can attend for free; however, they still require a ticket to help us accurately calculate attendance at various locations.

Please contact us directly for booking.

We’d like to gently remind you that this is primarily a business event. While we are excited to welcome participants, some locations – especially those in the mountains –may not be suitable for very young children and could be less engaging for them. We also want to let you know that we do not have childcare services available on-site. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to seeing you!

World Venture Forum 2025 once again delivered exceptional value – this year with an outstanding addition on defense and even deeper content expertise across the board. I truly appreciate the meaningful relationships built locally and globally, and already took actionable business value from last year’s edition. This year exceeded expectations with even more thought-provoking content, brilliant people, and fresh ideas. A must-attend event for any C-Level, GP, senior founder, or executive across all industries and geographies.

The World Venture Forum 2025 was a truly inspiring gathering of forward-thinkers. Our panel on unfolding digital assets underscored how fast the tokenization of capital markets is becoming reality. Events like this are essential to connect visionaries and drive real transformation across finance and technology.

Deloitte Tohmatsu Venture Support

There are countless reasons to attend the World Venture Forum.

From its cutting-edge session themes to the powerful network it brings together. But above all, its greatest value lies in connecting with visionary individuals who are committed to shaping a better future, not just chasing short-term gains.

5 days of deep dialogue with such minds is sure to expand your perspective.

The World Venture Forum was a vibrant nexus of ideas, capital, and conscience. I met bold founders, visionary investors, and seasoned operators, in a delightfully curated space charged with collaboration, purpose and fun! What made it amazing wasn’t just the people or panels—it was the relaxed atmosphere, filled with serendipitous moments, generosity of insight, and shared ambitions to solve the big challenges. From climate tech breakthroughs to deep tech pitches that sparked awe, the forum ignited both momentum and meaning. It was optimism, made practical so we can assist our civilization to thrive.

I did not know what to expect and was seriously impressed. I met so many inspiring people from around the world and will suggest this event to my network.

Defence Invest

Attending the World Venture Forum 2025 in Kitzbühel was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The event was of the highest calibre, bringing together an exceptional mix of investors, founders, LPs, and thought leaders in the venture capital space. From high-quality panels and focused networking sessions, the golf tournament, to the elegant gala dinner, every aspect of the forum was executed with precision. A special thank you to Berthold Baurek-Karlic and his brilliant team, particularly Julia, whose attention to detail ensured seamless organisation throughout. Beyond the professional value, the setting in the Austrian Alps added a unique charm. Kitzbühel provided the perfect backdrop for meaningful connections and fresh strategic thinking. If you’re serious about building high-value relationships and staying at the forefront of venture and innovation, this is the event not to miss. I walked away with invaluable contacts and great memories. Highly recommended!
