The global digital revolution is transforming the way international trade is conducted. As a result of this transformation, the business of many companies will face a more competitive environment in the foreseeable future. Join the 3rd Annual T.R.A.D.E. Conference in Athens to learn more about the legal challenges and opportunities for brand owners, platforms and resellers in a globalised word. High-profile speakers will be sharing their views and experiences on current legal developments in trade, distribution and e-commerce.

Athens is the capital and largest city of Greece. It has been a leading centre for trade in the region from its birth in antiquity until today. Given its long-standing trading tradition, the city is the ideal location for this third edition of the conference dedicated to the digital transformation in the trade sector.

To complement the academic programme, the AIJA local members promise an unforgettable social programme.
