As I am currently planning my activities for the year, I thought that I would share my 2016 calendar of events. I certainly won’t be attending all of them. Some European Commission DGT events are streamed online. For others, I simply follow the event hashtag or follow up on the website afterwards for presentation slides or videos.
I look forward to
seeing you all at an event or two in 2016. If I have left out any major conferences
in your country, please do not hesitate to let me know and I will update the
list. I may also look at a different format.
