Quality Labels of Tomorrow: A Case Study of Key Facilitators, Challenges, and Opportunities for Vienna's Nightlife
On this panel, Jacob turns to the future, asking: how could/should a "Safer Partying Label" be implemented in Vienna? The presentation combines the results from a year-long investigation into Vienna's harm-reduction efforts providers, the past success and failures of other European quality labels, and ongoing public discussions with the Vienna Club Commission. Ultimately, it simultaneously presents key obstacles for Vienna and potential areas of improvement for a future-oriented, "Safer Partying Label". This session intends to be both informative and collaborative and welcomes feedback from conference participants on how to ensure the sustainability, justice, and efficacy of a quality label in Vienna.
