Das Austria Center Vienna wurde nach einer vierjährigen Bauzeit 1987 eröffnet und ist seither Österreichs größtes Kongresszentrum. Mit 24 Sälen, 180 Meetingräumen, 26.000 m² Ausstellungs-/ Networkingfläche sowie einer Kapazität von 22.800 Personen gehört es zu den Top-Playern im internationalen Kongresswesen. Es ist das weltweit einzige Kongresszentrum, das direkt an ein UN-Headquarter angebunden ist.

Das Austria Center Vienna gewann bei den German Stevie® Awards 2021 mit dem Spielefest 2019 als bestes B2C-Event und dem Pilot-Projekt zur COVID-19-Schnellteststraße als Reaktion eines Unternehmens auf die COVID-Krise  gleich zwei Stevie® Awards.

Gold für das Spielefest 2019 als bestes B2C-Event

Das Wiener Spielefest fand insgesamt 31mal – davon Jahrzehnte lang durchgehend im Austria Center Vienna – statt. Aufgrund wirtschaftlicher Rahmenbedingungen wurde es eingestellt. Weil das Spielefest jedoch zu einer fixen Institution für Familien und Spielbegeisterte geworden ist, war es dem Austria Center Vienna ein Anliegen, das Spielefest – diesmal als Eigenveranstaltung und mit neuen Akzenten – wieder ins Leben zu rufen. Das Spielefest kehrte 2019 nach drei Jahren Pause wieder ins Austria Center Vienna zurück. Die Jury lobte vor allem die puren Erlebniswelten, besonders für kleine Gäste, das schöne Konzept und dass bei dem Event die Tradition des Spielens am Leben erhalten und mit neuem Leben gefüllt wurde. „Beeindruckend war hier die Überzeugung und das „Brennen“ für eine gute Sache, die letztlich zum Erfolgt geführt hat,“ so ein Juror. „Dieses Lob und diese Auszeichnung spornt uns an, den erfolgreich eingeschlagenen Weg fortzuführen“, betont Susanne Baumann-Söllner, Direktorin des Austria Centers.

Silber für die COVID-19-Schnellteststraße als wertvolle Unternehmensreaktion

Vor über einem Jahr, als die Corona-Pandemie schlagartig unser aller Leben stark veränderte, wurde auch die internationale Kongress- und Veranstaltungsbranche massiv getroffen. Das Austria Center hat das kleine Zeitfenster, in dem große Veranstaltung stattfinden konnten, genutzt und gemeinsam mit der Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien für die Einführungsvorlesung im Austria Center Vienna im September ein Pilotprojekt zur europaweit ersten COVID19-Schnelltest-Straße im Vorfeld einer Großveranstaltung gestartet. Um bei der Einführungsvorlesung größtmögliche Sicherheit zu bieten, wurden sämtliche 2.000 Studierenden, die an der Vorlesung teilnahmen, in Ergänzung zum bestehenden Hygienekonzept auf COVID-19 getestet. Das daraus resultierende Interesse durch Veranstalter, Hotellerie, Krankenhäuser, nationale und internationale Medien, Wirtschaft und Politik war überwältigend. Alle Abläufe und Erkenntnisse wurden auf der Website quasi als Whitepaper zur Verfügung gestellt und von vielen anderen Veranstaltern übernommen. Die Erkenntnisse aus diesem Versuch flossen in zahlreiche COVID-Schutzmaßnahmen ein, so auch in das Konzept für Österreichs größte Schnellteststraße.

 „Wir freuen uns sehr, dass wir gleich zweimal international ausgezeichnet wurden. Es ist eine große Ehre, dass unsere erste Eigenveranstaltung, das Spielefest 2019, sofort mit dem Gold Stevie® Award ausgezeichnet wurde. Da steckt viel Herzblut und viel Veranstaltungskompetenz des ganzen Teams drin. Vor dem Hintergrund, dass durch COVID-19 unser gesamtes Geschäft weggebrochen ist, freue ich mich umso mehr, dass unser Pilot-Projekt, mit dem wir international Standards gesetzt haben, jetzt auch ausgezeichnet wurde und unser Pilot-Projekt zur COVID-19-Schnellteststraße mit dem Silber Stevie®Award ausgezeichnet wurde“, sagt Susanne Baumann-Söllner „Dabei handelt es sich um zwei Projekte, die unterschiedlicher kaum sein könnten. Ich danke meinem ganzen Team, welches sowohl in Veranstaltungszeiten als auch in Krisenzeiten außergewöhnliche Leistungen erbringt!“

Die Jury lobte die schnelle und mutige Initiative als Reaktion auf die Pandemie sowie den Mehrwert für Veranstalter und andere Branchen. „Außerordentliche Situationen erfordern außerordentliche Ideen. Klasse Initiative, um den stark betroffenen Branchen eine Chance zu geben – mit minimalem Zeitaufwand“, lobte ein Juror. „Besonders hervorheben möchte ich hier auch, dass das Wissen unverzüglich weitergegeben wird, sodass viele Unternehmungen und Menschen zeitnah davon profitieren können,“ betont auch ein weiteres Jurymitglied. „Wir als Austria Center Vienna setzen neben der Impfung sehr große Hoffnungen auf die Schnelltests – als Eintrittskarte für mehr Normalität und zukünftige Veranstaltungen. Wir sind auch sehr stolz, mit unseren aktuellen Test- und Impfstraßen im Auftrag der Stadt Wien einen wertvollen Beitrag für die Bekämpfung der Pandemie leisten zu dürfen. Damit können wir aktiv dazu beitragen, dass möglichst bald wieder so tolle Veranstaltungen wie das Spielefest im Austria Center Vienna stattfinden können“, so Baumann-Söllner abschließend.

Sie und Ihr Team leisten ebenfalls Großartiges? Dann nutzen Sie Ihre Chance und bewerben Sie sich bei den German Stevie Awards 2022. Die Bewerbungsphase startet am 9. September 2021. Unter www.StevieAwards.com/GSA können Sie sich bereits heute für die Teilnahmeunterlagen registrieren lassen.

• Software company used by millions of people worldwide is an industry leader in sensitive data privacy and proactive protection
• Spirion helps organizations shrink their sensitive data footprint 
• The Sensitive Data Manager identifies core data, its location, its accessibility, and its usage timeline, thus preventing cyberattacks against organizations in all industries globally

About Spirion

Spirion is a software company that is an industry pioneer designing the critical first step of data security and privacy through its data discovery, persistent classification, and behavior software and services. Since 2006, thousands of organizations worldwide have reduced their sensitive data footprint and minimized the risks, costs, and reputational damage of successful cyberattacks and regulatory violations. 

Protecting Sensitive Data

Managing massive amounts of organizational data is a standard, necessary part of doing business today. Using and owning sensitive data of this size brings great responsibility and moral obligation to protect it. In response to numerous cybersecurity incidents, organizations must now focus on both cyber and privacy risk - the intersection at which true data privacy management now lies. 

Spirion sits squarely at this crossroads and has created a solution where many least expect it: before the firewall. Bringing a different way of thinking, Spirion protects what matters most - the personal data privacy and security of colleagues, customers, and the community. They build and deliver accurate data discovery and classification solutions. 

What Sets Spirion Apart

Spirion protects the identity of over 50 million people across all industries around the world. With an accuracy rate of 98% and the lowest false-positive and negative rates in the industry, Spirion finds all structured and unstructured data on networks, clouds, remote file servers, and all endpoints. 

Sensitive Data Footprint Reduction: Performs fast and accurate searches of structured and unstructured data in locations where many other solutions cannot, including data mining within images, email servers, databases, SharePoint, and the cloud. 

Persistent Classification: Ensures that no matter how many times data gets moved, copied, or shared, it is categorized and tagged automatically. 

Rules-based automation: Accurately examines, identifies, and tags data sensitivity, helping organizations reduce friction to business operations. 

Data Policy Enforcement: Continuously monitors for new data; when a file is created, copied, edited, detached from an email, extracted from an archive, retrieved from the cloud or from enterprise storage, or modified, it is discovered, automatically classified, and reported. 

Secure Disposal of Private Information: Secures unprotected data from creation to retirement with mechanisms in place for the proper remediation of all sensitive data-file shredding, redaction, quarantine, reduction of access rights, third-party controls and more. 

Managing Sensitive Data

The Sensitive Data Manager discovers the location of sensitive data across an enterprise and classifies it according to business rules and industry regulations. Once identified, the Sensitive Data Manager helps organizations automatically identify their core data, where it is stored, who has access, and when it was last used. It automatically finds sensitive data and prevents unauthorized distribution, helping organizations to implement appropriate controls, strengthen their security position, and comply with growing data privacy regulations. It also helps them to effectively label and shrink their sensitive data footprint and keep track of their data in all forms and locations, on-premise or in the cloud.

It is essential for organizations to understand sensitive data within the context of their business in order to take proper actions to protect it, set their broader security strategy, and incorporate additional controls to further strengthen their data defense and ensure ongoing compliance. This allows companies to get the bigger picture of how data flows through their organization and gain real command and control over that data to comply with the laws and regulations built to protect personal data privacy. 

Spirion’s COVID-19 Response

As a data protection software provider, Spirion is actively focused on the risk associated with massive amounts of data created each day under the new wave of privacy laws. Their mission to protect what matters most - paired with the forced changes caused by millions of people working from home - allowed them to quickly develop a no-charge data-discovery agent to minimize the risks associated with personal data exposure. 

Spirion won a Gold Stevie for International Data Protection Solution, a Gold Stevie for Postsecondary Enterprise Solution, and a Silver Stevie for Governance, Risk, & Compliance Solution in The 2020 American Business Awards®.

• FORDATA is a secure file-sharing solution that provides Virtual Data Room systems to Central and Eastern European economies 
• The company responded to COVID by providing free services to companies in need and fundraising thousands of dollars  

About FORDATA

FORDATA’s History

In 2009, three college friends decided to import a business idea from London and change the digitally belated Polish mergers and acquisitions market by introducing the first Virtual Data Room to Polish customers. The shift involved providing assistance to million-dollar transactions, securing best-kept corporate secrets online, and comforting investors who were used to making their decisions to buy by looking through thousands of files stored in a locked room - not online. As a result of the massive change,
FORDATA shifted the way Polish M&A businesses operated. 

In just a few years, FORDATA had become a standard of dealmaking in Poland, trusted by Deloitte, KPMG, PwC, Dentons, and the biggest Polish state and private companies - and is developing a presence abroad as well.

In 2019, FORDATA had been long-trusted by international investment advisors, insurance companies, and the Treasury of Poland and other countries. Currently, FORDATA is CSR-conscious and aligned with the strictest regulations of the EU and international markets.

FORDATA’s COVID-19 Response

When news of the coronavirus broke, FORDATA faced incredible pressure to continue helping others. The company provided free service to companies in crises and fundraised over $15,000. Companies in need were provided with services to restructure, run audits, find financing and new partners, or simply survive the transition to a remote work environment, which became the new normal to banks, advisors, and auditors. Everyone needed a virtual tool to stay safe and cut costs while also saving time and working efficiently. 

Today, FORDATA continues growing and providing critical services to the economy. 

FORDATA won a Bronze Stevie for COVID-19 Response Categories - Most Valuable Response by a Business Development Team in the 2021 Stevie Awards for Sales & Customer Service®.
