Introduction

This year we celebrated our 20th anniversary. The Technical Museum in Vienna provided a truly impressive venue for our celebration. Insights into the diversity and history made the visitors eager to return. Attendees could even experience a test demonstration in the high-voltage chamber. Beginning with a first-hand account from Mr Peter Swoboda, the group’s first Chairman, followed by comments from his current counterpart, the celebratory evening featured anecdotes and pictures on a twenty-year tour through the history of SEPAWA Austria – a success story, when we look at the growing number of members and participants of our meetings. A total of 104 people attended the event.
