Alexander Kribus, Managing Director of Messezentrum Salzburg, can remain in office for a further five years. This was decided unanimously by the City Senate on Monday.

The vote in the non-public meeting was clear. Kribus had previously clearly prevailed against two competitors in a hearing. The Managing Director has been at the helm of the exhibition center since 2019.

The new contract takes effect on November 1. Messezentrum Salzburg is owned 39.3 percent by the city and 39.3 percent by the state. The Salzburg Chamber of Commerce holds 21.4 percent.
