So, not only am I to moderate a roundtable on Monday, October 30th about Franchising and Environmental and Social Governance (ESG), but I am chairing a plenary session about “Franchising in Europe – navigating in disrupted times” on Tuesday, October 31st.

This is a great group effort, with my colleagues from around the world: Kim Vanthoor, Dagmar Waldzus, Tao Xu and Nino Andonovic.

Because of this exceptionnal location, at the Palais des Congrès, which is 5 minutes away from the firm, my firm will host a breakfast on the morning of Tuesday, October 31st. Look out for the invites!

This year the IBA annual convention was a Webinar called “IBA 2020 – VIRTUALLY TOGETHER”.

As IBA International Franchising Committee Officer, I will be co-chairing of the traditional “Hot Topics in international commerce and distribution, trade, franchising, and product law” session.

I have presented and coordinated 6 moderators around 3 round tables of interactive discussions (via zoom) on the following topics:

• Benefits of #Mediation in dissolving franchise disputes.

• How franchisors deal with issues of data flows from EU to US since GDPR and brand new EU regulation. 

• Impacts of #covid-19 on franchising networks – tell your stories – how to adapt agreements and franchise documents.
