Case

With the Executive Table , YIELD has launched a new dialogue format for decision-makers from business, politics, and the media. The aim of the event series is to facilitate confidential exchanges on key economic and socio-political issues—away from the public stage and in an exclusive setting.

The premiere of the new series took place at the Private Members Club Am Hof 8 in Vienna and brought together around 30 leading CEOs and decision-makers with Vienna's mayor, Dr. Michael Ludwig and opinion pollster Christoph Haselmayer .

The focus of the evening was on the future of Vienna as a business location, from technological transformation and geopolitical challenges to the economic mood in Austria.

Mission

Design and implementation of an exclusive dialogue format that brings together leading figures from politics and business in a confidential setting.

YIELD was responsible for the strategic development of the format, program design, C-level network management, on-site operational implementation, and communications support for the event.

“We value not only their PR expertise, but above all their straightforward, reliable partnership built on mutual respect. What truly stands out is their personal approach — the right ideas often reach us before we even ask.”

Claudia Aigner

Head of Marketing, Lucky Car
