European Lawyers Brussels Conference
Our Brussels Event was held on September 25-26th 2009 within the context of ’Latest Developments in European Law’.
The event started on Friday evening with the Welcome-Cocktail Party, and continued on Saturday to discuss the latest developments in European Law in a friendly atmosphere under the guidance of some guest speakers. We’ve then had a final dinner together and enjoyed saturday night in Brussels.
The event took place in Espace 53 inside Autoworld Museum.
We therefore would like to thank to our members who attended the Brussels Event. We’ve had a marvellous time together with around 50 young colleagues from all over Europe.
The ambiance was cosy, young and dynamic. We began warming up and making acquaintances during the cocktail party on friday evening.
We then continued with a very informative workshop animated by some of our members coming from academia, the EU institutions and legal practice. Finally, we celebrated the event with a gorgeous dinner and a few drinks.

We look forward to see you in our forthcoming events as well.
