  • Sustainability at WordCamp Vienna 2026

    Sustainability at WordCamp Vienna 2026

    Deutsch / English

    Small Steps – Big Impact

    The Earth Overshoot Day reminds us year after year: we’re living beyond our means.

    Events, too, have a responsibility to handle resources mindfully.

    Since 2025 WordCamp Vienna demonstrates how sustainability can be implemented without fuss – but with real impact. Through many small decisions that, together, make a difference.

    5 ways WordCamp Vienna is more sustainable

    Check-in participants

    BYOL – Bring Your Own Lanyard

    In 2024 WordCamp Central stopped producing lanyards. A small action that can have a big collective impact – for the sake of the environment. If you already have one at home, please bring it along.

    And if you don’t have one? No problem – we’ll have a small number of extras on site for anyone who needs one.

    Thanks for doing your part to reduce waste.

    Fewer shirts – produced fairly & locally

    Not everyone wants a new T-shirt – so attendees have the option to purchase a ticket without a T-shirt.

    Those who chose one will receive a long-lasting organic shirt, fairly traded and fairly produced, printed in Vienna, using water-based, non-toxic inks. And not just anywhere: printing is done by Siebdruckeria, a local Viennese screen-printing studio that works exclusively with eco-conscious, water-soluble inks – free from plastic and heavy metals.

    In this case, less really is more – especially when it’s done well. By the time this article was published, 43% of this year’s attendees had decided to produce one less T-shirt.

    Reusable bottles

    This year’s durable WordCamp bottles weren’t given out to everyone, but rather specifically to our speakers – as a small thank-you for their contribution.

    If any are left over, they’ll be shared with volunteers, organisers or raffled off to attendees. A thoughtful approach that avoids overproduction while still showing appreciation.

    Feel welcome and bring your own reusable bottle to avoid waste!

    Climate-friendly access

    The Campus of the University of Vienna – Altes AKH is centrally located and easy to reach by public transport, bike, or on foot. That reduces CO₂ emissions – and makes getting there more convenient for everyone. A conscious choice that aligns with the event’s overall approach.

    Local catering, right from campus

    The food is local, too: catering comes from the restaurant Gangl, directly on Uni Campus. Gangl attaches great importance to traceability of origin and sustainability, which is why its suppliers come from Austria and the surrounding area.

    Short distances, local value creation, and significantly less CO₂ than trucked-in mass catering.

    Tasty, practical – and purposeful.

    Conclusion: Practical over perfect

    Sustainability doesn’t have to be grand or complicated. Often, it’s enough to make conscious decisions – and act on them together.

    WordCamp Vienna shows what that can look like: no perfectionism, no preaching – just many small, doable steps that truly make a difference.

  • Powered by Community. Driven by Coffee.

    Powered by Community. Driven by Coffee.

    Good ideas need energy.

    And that’s exactly why WordCamp Vienna is introducing something new this year: for the first time, there will be Don Joaco Coffeebike right in the lecture hall centre.

    Between sessions, during breaks and in the middle of networking, the mobile coffee station will provide you with freshly prepared coffee specialities – from espresso, cappuccino and flat white to latte, hot chocolate and tea. Of course, there are also milk alternatives such as oat milk and lactose-free milk.

    The bike is made possible by sponsorship from the Austrian hosting provider Domaintechnik.

    It uses organic coffee grown in Colombia by Don Joaco Coffee, who grow and roast their own coffee. Quality you can taste.

    Whether it’s a quick caffeine kick before the next talk or a relaxed chat after an exciting session, the Bike will be a central meeting place for conversations, new contacts and spontaneous ideas.

    See you at WordCamp – and at the coffee bar!
