Poly groups in Austria – detailed descriptions
Austria’s largest regular polyamory get-togethers take place in Vienna and in Graz (more information below), most of them being informal with no host or chair. They are attended by people who are polyamorous or interested in polyamory or alternative relationships in general. Many people have formed friendships over time and use these meetings to catch up with their friends, or to get to know new/more people.
Individuals of all gender identities, gender expressions, sexual orientations, abilities and disabilities, mother tongues, experience levels and of all age groups are welcome! If you have a walking disability, please inform the organizers beforehand in order to find out whether/how the location of the meetup is going to be accessible to you.
Most people at the polyamory meetups converse in German, but there are often some English native speakers there as well, and most people (especially the younger ones) are very much willing to talk in English. The atmosphere is generally very friendly, but please be aware: this is not a place to search for dates or one-night-stands. It has proven to be disappointing to the person who is searching. Furthermore: inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated.
We are looking forward to meeting you there!
Get-togethers/groups in Vienna
Currently there are a few get-togethers/groups in Vienna every month with numbers from 10 to 20 people attending for at least part of the evening. There usually are no plenary discussions, but people chat in groups of 2, 3 or more, and with changing partners over the course of the evening. Sometimes brunches, karaoke evenings, book discussions or queer poly meetings take place. You will find detailed informations on these in the event descriptions in the calendar.
Nonmonogamy Meetup [english edition]
English-speaking polyamory/ethical non-monogamy meetup: Come and meet likeminded people and share your experiences of the different forms of ethical non-monogamy, or ask questions if you are still new to this. This is a free event, open to everybody (including of course monogamous people who are interested in learning about polyamory).
The host will bring a red pillow for easier identification.

What are the differences between MonoPoly, PolyMeetup and Polyamorie Gruppe?
All complement each other well.
The Polyamorie Gruppe always takes place at Libelle (a sexpositive event location). PolyMeetup takes place at different venues and different days of the week each time. MonoPoly always takes place at Pentahotel.
A lot of regulars of Libelle’s events (like the Polyamorie-Gruppe) meet also at other events of Libelle. PolyMeetup by contrast is convenient for who just like to stop by, who don’t feel too comfortable at Libelle or poly-curious people who would first like to talk to people in a more neutral, less intimate setting. For some people PolyMeetup is the first choice because it takes place in a public venue. The MonoPoly also attracts specifically people who aren’t polyamorous but thinking about alternative relationship styles. The event dates are published a couple of months ahead, so for people who want to plan in advance, it’s also accessible.
