The 17th IAKS Artificial Ice Rink Management Conference was held at Telfs Sports Centre from 15 to 17 May 2018. Some 125 representatives of the European ice rink industry met in Austria for the first time in the event’s history. The conference was supported by the Ice Rink Operators’ Platform of the Austrian Institute of School and Sports Facilities (ÖISS), which was holding its annual meeting in Telfs.
The event was opened by host Christian Santer, the head of Telfs Sports and Event Centre. The modern sports centre offers everything the athlete could wish for: a partitionable triple-court hall with a bouldering wall, three indoor tennis courts, three squash courts, a bowling alley, a grassed football pitch and a minigolf course. These facilities are joined by the Ice Sport Arena, a privately operated ice rink operated all-year-round, and the “Bergstation” climbing and bouldering hall run by Tyrol’s Alpine Club. For events, the dome tent is available all-year-round, with public ice-skating also taking place here in one of Tyrol’s most beautiful ice sports facilities from October to March.
