Convening over 400 people in the two most recent editions, this has become one of the largest competition conferences in Brussels. It is also most certainly the largest independent, non-commercial and non-partisan conference of this kind in Europe.
The event is open to everyone interested regardless of gender, seniority or affiliation. Advance registration required.
