seminars and conferences Economic crisis, climate change, hunger riots, illegal migrations: each and every day, real risks compete with nonexistent threats to make newspaper headlines. As people worry about their future and the world to come, governments, elected officials, and business managers are urged for answers. To help them put things into perspective, anticipate, make decisions, and take action, Lépac offers different conference and training programmes especially intended for small groups. These programmes stand out by the use of maps and graphs, our experienced and complementary hosts, our diversified panel of speakers, the variety of audiences we address, and the interactivity between participants and attendees.
