Event Format and How You can Participate:

This first event that we are hosting post-COVID pandemic is serving as a soft launch for our annual Global Gathering, part of a three year vision to build up to pre-pandemic numbers and format in a sustainable, safe, and secure way. It will take place in Estoril, Portugal.

This year's gathering will have a much more decentralized format and approach to previous instances. If you are not able to participate this year, do not worry, this is just the beginning.
If you are able to come, your focus should be on networking and recharging with your colleagues. There will be no sessions. For the majority of people, we will only have physical space to rekindle connections, with some exceptions that are listed on the organizer’s website.
