After completion, each participant has access to all presentations from each block and auxiliary materials, which gives viewers the opportunity to return to the content presented and see what they may have missed. We give a total of 9 hours of very unique and specialized knowledge, and our hosts, partners and speakers guarantee a high substantive level of information throughout the entire event,” says Katarzyna Sawka, Vice President of Marketing of the SECO/WARWICK Group.

Every year, SECO/WARWICK has organized an annual Seminar, which after 22 years, turned into an online event - currently a standard practice for busy industry professionals who appreciate learning about the latest industry trends from experts at their convenience. To allow access to this unique knowledge as universally as possible, the event is completely free of charge. It is not another webinar, but industry e-meeting, which has a broader dimension, including the ecological one.
