WTA-Days 2025 in Hamburg
Dear members of the WTA International,
Honoured guests of WTA International,
We would like to cordially invite you to the WTA Days 2025 on 13/14/15 March 2025 in Hamburg. In addition to the General Assembly of WTA International, a WTA Colloquium will also take place again.
On the evening after the WTA International General Assembly on the afternoon of 13 March 2025, the WTA International invites you to the traditional WTA event. The information and documents for the General Assembly will be available to members on the intranet from mid-February.
Friday will be dedicated to honouring the winners of the WTA Young Professional Awards and the WTA Colloquium.
The main theme of the conference is climate protection and resource conservation. Energy saving, environmental impact and the preservation of cultural heritage are particularly in focus.
We are particularly pleased to be able to offer another excursion on Saturday. After visiting the research workshop in the Speicherstadt and the Speicherstadt itself, we will conclude with a tour of the harbour.
