Conferences

EELA organizes two conferences each year to continuously improve the qualifications of its members and the acquisition of new knowledge and experience.

The Annual Conference is hosted by a different member state every year, normally in May or June and usually lasts from Thursday evening to Saturday lunchtime. Each conference is unique, but they are always enjoyable. Members look forward to meeting up with old friends and new. The latest trends in European employment law and main challenges ahead are presented and debated by high-level speakers. 

The second smaller conference takes place in autumn in Brussels. It is organised in cooperation with ERA and brings an update on the most recent CJEU cases and discussions on current topics of European employment law.
