Russell Bedford Members Gather In Vienna For The 39th Annual Global Conference

Almost 200 guests descended on the majestic city of Vienna, Austria for the 39th Russell Bedford Annual Global Conference which took place at the Vienna Marriott Hotel on 19 -23 October, located in the heart of this historic city.

The first conference of its kind since 2019, it cannot be understated how wonderful it was to resume this flagship event as an in-person conference, which has featured in Russell Bedford’s annual programme of events for almost 40 years. Vienna’s breath-taking architecture and most impressive scenery and parks put a grand stamp on proceedings, adding to an already exciting and hotly anticipated conference.

The meeting opened with pre-dinner drinks and a welcome dinner at the conference hotel, where members had the opportunity to reconnect with friends and colleagues, while welcoming new firms to the network.

Day one of the conference opened with pre-conference networking and for the first time, the network engaged an official host of the conference, presenter and facilitator, Rob Brown. Rob opened the first day of sessions, leading theExecutive Session: An interview with Russell Bedford Chair, Bruce Saward, and CEO, Stephen Hamlet.

Up next was Johanna Krumin & quinTTTonic Brass Ensemble, with a fascinating and highly entertaining lesson on Leadership Orchestra.
