In 1999, the DA and ClubDA started a new tradition at the Academy. Every year, the DA invites its alumni back to the Academy for the annual International Alumni Meeting in Vienna. The programme includes DA's famous Garden Party ("Sommerfest") as well as ClubDA's General Assembly on Friday and the alumni excursion on Saturday. Most alumni weekends were concluded with the traditional Heurigen sponsored by the City of Vienna.
The 21st International Alumni Meeting in Vienna will take place on 28-29 June 2019.
