The 8th Annual Conference on the Banking Union was held by the ILF in cooperation with Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer on 23 September 2021. We are happy that this time, unlike the 7th Annual Conference which was purely online, we had the possibility of holding a hybrid conference. We saw a total of 210 participants with 43 of them attending the in-person event on Campus Westend while the remaining participants could follow the conference virtually.
Prof. Dr. Andreas Cahn, Executive Director of the ILF and Dr. Alexander Glos, Partner, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, gave the opening remarks followed by speeches of prominent speakers.
