Parties
The evening programme created space for relaxation, informal networking and memories that marked the Congress.
The lectures were based on the practical application of GDPR.
The lectures within the International Congress of Lawyers were particularly valuable because, in addition to the theoretical aspect, they were based on practical application, enabling participants to be better prepared for legal challenges in the field of GDPR.
Experts in the field of personal data protection provided participants with relevant information, as well as theoretical and practical knowledge immediately applicable in practice. The aim of the Congress was practical application and readiness for current trends in the legal world.
In addition to lectures, panel discussions were organised covering areas in which GDPR is applied, as well as case studies that brought the application of GDPR in legal and business practice closer to participants through current topics and market needs.
The workshops were especially important for participants who wanted to see the practical application of theory in action, particularly in areas that are expanding and will become increasingly significant in the future.
B2B meetings created space for direct networking between participants and speakers.
B2B meetings represented encounters between companies and individuals that created opportunities for negotiation, planning, cooperation and other business activities.
All Congress participants had the opportunity to meet any speaker or other participant, making the Congress a space for direct communication with important lawyers and professionals who are often difficult to reach through standard channels.
The Congress combined professional development, discovering Bled and informal networking.
The programme was designed to give participants a balance between learning, business networking, exploring local attractions and relaxation.
Welcome cocktail
