At the gala evening of the congress, ÖGI President Dipl.-Ing. Gerhard Schindelbacher, who will retiring at the end of the year, announced that after 25 years he will hand over the leadership of the ÖGI to his designated successor, the well-connected Dipl.-Ing. Christa Zengerer, currently still Managing Director of ACstyria Mobilitätscluster GmbH.
In his review, Schindelbacher recalled the first joint D-A-CH conference in 2005 in Innsbruck with more than 1,000 participants from Germany, Austria and Switzerland and many great events organized by the ÖGI.
It was always the good mix of expert lectures and the locations that contributed to making the events unforgettable.
In 2024 there will be another big D-A-CH meeting in Salzburg, the next ÖGI meeting will take place in Schladming next year.
The delegates, colleagues and friends thanked Schindelbacher with great applause and hoped that he would continue to serve industry and research in other capacities in the future.
