There are still a few spaces left for the workshop in Mainz from March 10-12, 2023. Registration is open until February 15th or until the workshop is full, so sign up soon!
The city of Mainz is not only the home of Weck, Worscht und Woi, the Gutenberg Bible, world-famous Chagall windows and the Mainz 05 soccer club, it was also the backdrop of the first “GLD Members in Europe Workshop” back in 2014. That one-day informal gathering has grown into a mini-conference featuring a guest speaker, peer-led educational sessions, and social events from Friday evening until Sunday midday.
After a three-year hiatus, we’re excited to return to our roots for the now eighth annual workshop to reconnect, learn from each other, take in the sights, and sample the local cuisine. Details below.
We hope to see you there!
