High End Vienna 2026 – High End moves to Vienna

For many, many years, Munich has been the meeting place for the entire consumer electronics industry every year, as the High End, clearly the world’s leading trade fair, was on the programme here. This will also be the case in 2025, as High End 2025 will be held in the tried-and-tested manner at the M.O.C. in the Bavarian metropolis from 15. to 18. May 2025.

The next level for an event steeped in tradition

High End Service GmbH justifies the change of location first and foremost with promising prospects and optimal opportunities to further develop the High End trade fair.

“The Austria Center Vienna not only offers excellent exhibition conditions, but also a progressive environment that will raise the level of High End and ensure its success in the coming years. We are convinced that this move will enable us to take the HIGH END to a new level and look forward to the opportunities that this change will bring.”

Stefan Dreischärf, Managing Director of High End Society Service GmbH

Vienna, the world capital of music

The fact that High End Society Service GmbH chose Vienna is of course also a perfect fit in view of the fact that the metropolis on the Danube has always been considered the world capital of music. No other city in the world can even come close to the standard that Vienna offers in this respect.

The cosmopolitan city on the Danube boasts an international flair, a history steeped in tradition and an outstanding cultural programme, according to High End Society Service GmbH.

Year after year, the Austrian metropolis attracts thousands of guests from all over the world. Vienna is easily accessible and, as the world capital of music, offers the perfect backdrop for the High End, which is all about excellent music reproduction. Combined with the excellent logistical conditions, Vienna is an ideal choice for the organiser.

“The new location creates a perfect connection to our trade fair and will also be an atmospheric benefit for everyone involved.”

Stefan Dreischärf, Managing Director of High End Society Service GmbH

The interest group High End Society e. V. also sees great potential in the new trade fair location and thus the right path for the world’s leading trade fair.

“We see the move to Vienna as a great opportunity to make High End even more attractive, to strengthen it as the most important international meeting place for the industry and to make it fit for the future. We are looking forward to a new era in the 40-year tradition of the High End trade fair.”

Jürgen Timm, Chairman of the Board of the High End Society e. V. association

Getting to the point

It is quite surprising that High End Society Service GmbH is giving up its tried-and-tested location in Munich and organising the last trade fair in the Bavarian metropolis with High End 2025. However, it makes perfect sense to move High End 2026 to Vienna, as the metropolis on the Danube is considered the world capital of music. The fact that the Austria Center Vienna, one of the most modern event locations in the heart of the city, has also played a key role. Centrally located right next to UNO City Vienna, this location is perfect for exhibitors and national and international visitors alike.
