Event description
The main event of the 20th anniversary celebrations of ERRA will be the online Jubilee Day on December 11th broadcasted from Budapest. Its balanced program will involve a wide selection of themes, ranging from memoirs and acknowledgements through reflections on the past, current and future arriving at high-level discussions on what is still to come. The atmosphere of the event will allow for moments of sentiment and reflection, but also insight and entertainment. Former and current regulators, partners, collaborators and friends of the Association will come together to summarize the two decades of ERRA’s distinctive and productive operation and will together set objectives for the increasingly challenging future.
