We're delighted to announce the 2025 EMEA Regional Retreat, to be held in Brussels, at the Learning Innovation Center,  Vrije Universiteit Brussel ("LIC"), from Friday, 10th October through Sunday 12th October.

Breakthrough ‘26: A Blueprint for a Way Forward aims to prepare EMEA leaders and super-volunteers for the challenges we need to meet and overcome leading up to the 2026 midterms.
