What to know about IAEA General Conference
This is a high-level diplomatic and technical summit where networking occurs primarily between government delegations, national laboratories, and nuclear regulatory bodies. Unlike commercial trade shows, the exhibition serves as a physical extension of national policy and technical prowess, requiring booths to balance institutional prestige with "science-heavy" technical demonstrations.
The show is attended by ambassadors and energy ministers; attire is strictly business formal (suits and ties) for all booth staff to match the diplomatic environment.
Delegates use the exhibition area for informal bilateral talks; ensure your booth layout includes at least one semi-private seated area with a table rather than just standing counters.
The audience is highly technical; white papers, reactor models, and detailed safety schematics perform better than flashy marketing videos or generic digital displays.
Security at the Vienna International Centre (VIC) is rigorous; all staff must be registered weeks in advance to secure UN grounds passes, as walk-on badges are virtually non-existent.
