place on-site in two different destinations as well as online over the
course of six days:
An on-site event in
Dubai, UAE, from 15-16 November
Dedicated online
sessions from Asia-Pacific and Americas, from 17-18 November
An on-site event in
Basel, Switzerland, from 18-20 November
And online in parallel
throughout the week from 15-20 November
