Members of the W4SG Association held our annual meeting in Copenhagen May 7th – 8th. The theme for this year’s annual meeting was:
“Innovation and Cooperation in Copenhagen”
W4SG is only as strong as our members. Our growth as an organization depends upon members stepping into roles that will carry responsibility for our development. Together, we have already accomplished so much and there is much more potential!
The program shared some unique and professionally relevant aspects of Copenhagen while also creating opportunities for members to plan for the future development of W4SG.
Program
The program has been developed with the strong support of our Co-Chair Mette Laursen and her LinKS staff. Therefore, we thank her, her staff and our sponsors who allowed us to have a productive and enjoyable time in Copenhagen!
