Now that coronavirus restrictions are being relaxed around the world, the prospect of traveling abroad to attend conferences that could provide key insights for your business to grow is once again becoming a possibility.

With that in mind, we’ve compiled a list of some of the biggest summits of business leaders and policy makers in Europe 2022. While many are hybrid online/physical events, some of them just beg for an in-person visit due to the fantastic networking opportunities they offer.  Increasingly, key business conferences in Europe are leveraging the power of live stream pre recorded video content to enrich their virtual sessions, making them more accessible and engaging for a global audience.

Note: If you are traveling to Europe from the US for a conference in 2022, you don’t need to obtain a travel authorization. But you should be aware that it will be necessary to have an ETIAS in 2023.
