educational content will combine to provide an engaging and rewarding 
experience for all delegates.

* presentations on common challenges by peers working in international 
associations

in-depth questions and to share and exchange knowledge and experience
* UIA team members will moderate the sessions throughout, guiding and 
assisting the delegates
