The Austrian media days (ÖMT) 2025 are just around the corner and will take place on September 24th and 25th, 2025 in the first campus in Vienna. This is already the 32nd edition of the renowned event, that of the industry magazine horizon and the Manstein publishing house is organized. The most important congress of the media and communication industry in Austria are aimed at developing strategies and promoting exchange among experts.
In a rapidly changing media landscape, the congress offers a platform for discussion about central challenges. The main topics include the new media reality, the transformation of the industry and the future of journalism. Keynote spokesman include Natalie Amiri from the ARD, who talks about the "Middle East complex", and Bernhard Pörksen, a respected media scientist who addresses the current turn of time in the media.

On the opening day, a panel on the subject of "Security & Stability-The World on the Scheidweg" will take place, with participants such as Susanne Weigelin-Schwiedzik and Matthias Gebauer. In addition, Amir Kassaei, together with Jürgen Hofer, will discuss creativity and future visions.

Ticket prices and participation
There are different ticket options for those interested: A ticket for both days costs 799 euros, while day tickets are available for 469 euros. Unfortunately, no live stream is offered for the event, which means that the participants have to be on site in order to benefit from the extensive content.
The Austrian media market has recently been under pressure. The high advertising income is increasingly going to digital companies, while traditional media such as ORF, the largest media group in the country, have to deal with challenges such as increasing production costs. How diemedien.at emphasizes, journalism remains dependent on digital platforms in order to achieve younger target groups. This area of tension will also be a central point of discussions during the media days.
The ÖMT 2025 promise exciting insights and valuable perspectives for media professionals and decision -makers in Austria. In view of the dynamic changes in the industry, the congress will not only act as a platform for knowledge and ideas, but also as a "inspector for new strategies" to help shape the future of media.
