It is our pleasure to invite you to Vienna for the next international Level 2+ conference from June 18-19 2022!

Our goal is to help connect L2+* judges from all over Europe and the world to share and gain knowledge and have a great time doing it!

The main focus of this conference will be on high-level hard and soft skills and additional focus on skills that we all may be lost a bit over the pandemic years so far.
