We are delighted to invite you to our annual Thanksgiving Dinner, which will take place on
Wednesday, November 11, 2026
at Hotel Sacher
Philharmonikerstraße 4, 1010 Vienna.
This year, we are honored to welcome Aarti Holla-Maini, Director of the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA), as our guest speaker.

Sharing Space: Security, Innovation & International Cooperation
As outer space becomes increasingly important to our lives on Earth, questions of security, commercial competition, and international cooperation are taking on new urgency. Who governs space? How can we keep it safe and accessible? And what opportunities will emerging space technologies create for the future?
Our guest speaker, Aarti Holla-Maini, will share her perspectives on these questions and the changing role of space in our world.
As always, we will also hold our Annual General Meeting in conjunction with the dinner. We will begin at 6:30 PM and keep this official part as brief as possible. Dinner will start at 7:00 PM.
