ViennaUP, the decentralized festival renowned for its dynamic array of events scattered across the vibrant city of Vienna, provided an ideal setting for Phenomenon Studio to engage with industry leaders, innovators, and creative minds from around the globe. Phenomenon was represented by Kseniia Shalia, our Head of Sales. She could not be better suited to represent our company’s culture and values or gather leaders’ insights on sustainability and AI.

ViennaUP and the Homebase Experience

ViennaUP’s unique structure, with events throughout the city, offers participants a rich tapestry of experiences and opportunities to connect.
