Show brief
HIGH END Vienna 2026
The first edition of this show staged outside Munich in twenty-one years. The HIGH END Society moved it from the MOC to the Austria Center Vienna, and it ran from 4 to 7 June 2026. This page is the part a dealer can send: how it went, when the doors were open, what a ticket cost, how visitors got there, and what the floor file counted.
Wrap-up · posted 7 June 2026
How it went
The Munich-to-Vienna gamble paid off — a real win, but a sideways one. The show stays the world's biggest, and the formal best-of verdicts are still landing as the doors shut.
