IUAI Members' Conference 2023 - Lisbon

Monday 22 May to Wednesday 24 May 2023

Scheduled originally to take place in Krakow, Poland, the Union is delighted to announce that its Members’ Conference 2023 will now take place in the delightful city of Lisbon, Portugal between Monday 22 and Wednesday 24 May 2023.

The event will comprise the usual blend of technical workshops and discussion panels organised by the Union’s Study Groups. Speakers from within the Study Groups, alongside industry experts will present on all of the major topics critical to the Union’s Membership, and its client base, as the sector deals with the  aftermath of the Global Pandemic and the resulting economic and social realities.

Alongside the extensive technical programme, the event also includes extensive networking opportunities and social events. Lisbon will provide a wonderful backdrop for our event giving Members  a unique opportunity to network,  develop  business relationships, renew contacts with old friends and meet new ones.

Participation in this event will qualify Delegates for CPD/IDD Credits.
