Bas Schot

Head of The Hague Convention Bureau

Bas Schot, Head of The Hague Convention Bureau said: “The Hague has a global reputation as a centre of learning with a significant knowledge economy. We have recently been running the face to face HagueTalks events together with partners, focused on hard-hitting topics and content, with leading subject matter experts. The initiative was a huge success and we wanted to find a way to maintain the debates and extend it across digital platforms throughout the COVID-19 crisis. We have achieved this via a series of webinars in which we are addressing the pressing matters that have arisen due to the disruption, whilst sharing best practices from industry experts, and providing concrete advice. Our first webinar was extremely well attended, whilst being supported by some great speakers. We expect the same from this one.”
