OPEN AUSTRIA Meetup | Austrian Executive Delegation in the Bay Area
Join us for an exclusive evening connecting visiting Austrian executives with members of the OPEN AUSTRIA and WELTKÄRNTNER Silicon Valley community.
This networking event is part of the Stanford Executive Learning Journey, which brings 19 executives from leading Austrian companies to Silicon Valley. The focus of this learning journey is AI, Innovation and Leadership.
We’re happy to co-host this event with WELTKÄRNTNER Silicon Valley, led by Silke English. WELTKÄRNTNER is a global network for people from Carinthia living and working abroad. If you’re originally from Carinthia and have been living abroad for more than two years, go ahead and become a part of the WELTKÄRNTNER community!
We look forward to bringing the Austrian community together for an evening of great conversations and new connections!
