Forum Alpbach Network Committee (FANC)

The FAN Committee is the Forum Alpbach Network’s main organizing body during the European Forum Alpbach. Each year, another Club/IG takes over this task. Volunteers from this Club/IG work the whole year to coordinate the FAN program at the European Forum Alpbach, which consists of more than 100 events including panel discussions, fire side talks, hikes, sport events, pub quiz and many more. The FAN Committee also brings in its own ideas to enrich the program even further.

 

In 2021, Club Alpbach Niederösterreich joined forces with Initiative Group Alpbach Sarajevo and Club Alpbach Croatia as well as the FAN Ambassador for Hungary to act as FAN Committee.

We are very much looking forward to making our ideas reality and providing you with inspiring and fun events at the Forum in Summer 2021.

If you have questions or want to share any thoughts with us, please contact us via fanc@alpbach.network
