COMING SOON!!!

2021 World Conference Edition: So, WHERE do we meet again?

The venue for the 5th edition of World Conference on CDG for Families & Professionals already has a venue - It's Lisbon AGAIN (the portuguese capital). Because a winning team doesn't change (adapted from the portuguese expression "Equipa que ganha, não se mexe") ..

For the next edition we will count with the help of NOVA University, which has been a close collaborator of CDG & Allies - PPAIN (learn more HERE).

Hope to see you all again in Lisbon!
Here are a few pictures so that you can get acquainted with the portuguese mood!

Updates will follow suit!
