WOA Community Convention - Mainz, Germany 19 - 20 September 2022
Main Conference Hosting Sponsors
The World of Open Account is in the first place a digital community. But we believe that all of us are looking forward to being able to meet off-line, physically and for real. To network together to discuss business opportunities. To share our insights and opinions. To be updated on trends and innovation from Industry colleagues and thought leaders.
We start with an icebreaker reception on Monday 19th of September. Tuesday 20th is a full day of conference. The convention ends on Tuesday evening with a networking dinner.
The WOA convention is different from any other conference:
- Short enough to fit into your busy schedule
- Long enough to give you the opportunity to meet everyone
- Short presentations that will really inspire
- Lots of interaction, Q&As, discussions (after all, in the first place WOA is and remains a community)
- No heavy tourism (because you are here for business), but sufficient time for socializing and networking in a friendly atmosphere
- Less than half the price of most one-day conferences
- But lots of content that matters and a personalized approach for an unforgettable event
