Each year, the European IFA Congress serves as a forum for representatives from both the private and public sectors—including international tax practitioners, members of the judiciary, universities, and governmental as well as non-governmental organizations—to come together and share their expertise for the benefit of all.

As many of you know, IFA sessions are renowned for delivering thought-provoking content. This year’s European Congress features an extensive and impressive range of sessions, addressing pressing international tax issues currently faced by participants, as well as those likely to arise in the evolving global economic environment.

In addition, participants will have abundant opportunities to engage in stimulating debates, drawing directly on the insights and presentations of leading tax experts from diverse jurisdictions around the world.
