An unconference is a participant-driven meeting where attendees create the agenda and actively engage in discussions, promoting collaborative and flexible learning.

The spirit of the event is to share and learn from others. Please note that if you have nothing to share, maybe this is not the right place for you.

The primary language of the unconference is English. If all attendees of a breakout session agree, it is possible to conduct the session in another language.

Anyone who is comfortable in FileMaker development and wishes to share their ideas, thoughts and solutions.

Please click here to register.

Our goal is to keep the dotfmp spirit alive. It will be an unconference with a strong focus on idea sharing. We chose a venue with multiple rooms to accommodate several breakout sessions simultaneously.

Find the list of attendees here. 

While there is no set duration for the sessions, we recommend keeping them between 30 and 45 minutes (except for Show and Tell). Please make sure that you allow enough time for discussion afterwards.

You can add your session proposal to the schedule.

Vienna Calling focusses on the interactivity of sessions and the engagement of all participants.  We encourage all participants to take the stage, speak freely about their ideas concepts, challenges, technologies, experiences, …

Sessions should/can:

• … be enaging. We meet in a spirit of curiosity. Just because one has the stage does not mean one can preach.
• … not be product demonstrations.  If you want to present your product, please refer to the Sponsoring page.
• … focus more on function than on form. We are all seasoned enough to be more impressed by a good idea than by a sleek PowerPoint.
• … be spontaneous. If a group finds interest in a subject over coffee, make a session of it. Book a room!

Please keep in mind that bigger is not always better. The bigger the room the harder it is to keep up the engagement. 

The Early-Bird Ticket costs EUR 500,- (till Nov. 30th 2024)

After that the regular ticket price is EUR 600,-

We checked this with our tax consultant - in fact we have to add VAT because the conference is in the same country as our company seat, so it is a domestic service.

Public Transport ticket purchase and validation: See Public Transpot FAQ

Public transport is great in Vienna. You can reach any place in the city within about an hour, simply on public transport. To use it, you need a ticket. Although generally the system is trust based (nobody hinders you to board a tram, bus or underground without a ticket), there are controllers asking for tickes every now and then. If you are then unable to produce a valid ticket, you could face heavy fines. So please buy your tickets to save yourself the stress and help us maintain our excellent service fore everyone.

Tickets can be purchased at ticket machines located in the airport's arrivals area, at train and subway stations, in trams and busses, or via the Wiener Linien mobile app or here:
https://www.wienerlinien.at/web/wl-en/tickets
A single journey ticket within Vienna costs €2.40. 

Validation:
Ensure you validate your ticket before boarding by stamping it at the blue machines found at the entrance of underground stations and on buses and trams. 

Multi Use Travel Passes:
If you plan to use public transport multiple times during your stay, consider purchasing a travel pass (24-hour, 48-hour, or 72-hour) for unlimited travel within Vienna's core zone.

Vienna is one of the most secure cities you will ever visit. Street violence is so rare, it is in national news if anything happens. Pickpocketing does happen, so we advise you to be careful in street cafés, crowded squares or on public transport.

Tipping is understood to be a show of appreciation. It is customary to tip about 10% if the service was right. Tipping on TakeAway or self-service is not the norm.
