AIJA Run for Human Rights

Every great concert begins with a shared rhythm. Join fellow delegates for a refreshing morning run through the heart of Vienna, where every stride becomes part of a collective movement.
Inspired by this year’s conference theme, “LAWYERS IN CONCERT: Connecting, Creating, and Committing to Service,” this run is an opportunity to connect beyond the conference halls, create new conversations, and experience the harmony that comes from moving forward together. As we run through one of the world’s great musical capitals, we’ll be reminded that, much like an orchestra, the legal profession is strongest when diverse voices come together with a shared purpose. Whether you set the pace or simply enjoy being part of the ensemble, all are welcome. Let’s find our rhythm, make meaningful connections, and start the day in concert.

Opening Ceremony & Dinner @ Konzerthaus

There is no more fitting stage on which to open a Congress themed “Lawyers in Concert” than the Wiener Konzerthaus – one of the world’s great houses of music, where the Vienna of Beethoven, Brahms and Mahler still resonates through every hall.
Join us for the official Opening Ceremony of the AIJA Annual Congress, where our Congress Co-Chairs and the AIJA President will set the tone for the week ahead. This year the ceremony strikes a special chord: renowned conductor and three-time Grammy Award-winning producer Christian Gansch – who once performed some 200 concerts in this very hall – takes the stage as our keynote speaker, drawing on the striking parallels between a world-class orchestra and a thriving professional community: diverse voices, a shared score, and the harmony that comes from playing together. The evening is set to the music of the celebrated Janoska Ensemble, whose signature blend of classical brilliance and virtuoso improvisation will carry us from Strauss’ “Fledermaus” to their own inimitable style.
As the final notes fade, the celebration continues with a festive walking dinner throughout the elegant foyers and halls of the Konzerthaus, followed by an evening of music, dancing and connection – the perfect overture to an unforgettable week in Vienna.

Day Out & Get-Together Dinner @ Schlosshof

From Courtroom to Courtyard – The Castle Fair
Get ready to trade the conference halls for open skies, as we head to the stunning Schloss Hof, one of Austria’s most beautiful baroque palaces, nestled in the countryside just outside Vienna.
This year, we’re bringing the spirit of a traditional “Kirtag” — the Austrian countryside fair, full of good food, folk music, and lively celebration — right into the palace grounds. Think market stalls, hearty regional specialties, local wine and beer, and the kind of rustic, joyful atmosphere that has marked harvest and village festivals across Austria for centuries. As a highlight learn how to dance the Quadrille so you’ll be ready for the midnight happening at the Gala Night.
Shuttle buses will be provided between the Hilton Vienna Park and Schloss Hof for both the outbound and return journeys.
Departure from the Hilton Vienna Park to Schloss Hof: 15:00
Return shuttle service from Schloss Hof: beginning at 22:00, with buses departing every hour
Last shuttle departure: 02:00
🕐 16:00–02:00
