HR Event Consulting GmbH (HREC) was founded, in Vienna and Copenhagen, in 2018 with the sole purpose of working as consultants and technical equipment and service providers for the United Nations and its agencies world-wide.
The individual founding team behind HREC, their staff and numerous partners have vast experience and extensive relations with the United Nations and their various agencies — in the implementation and delivery of conferences all around the world. The same goes for corporate events, conferences, and the exhibition world.
