PROGRAMME
BIR conventions offer a complete programme with interesting meetings, high-profile guest speakers and fascinating discussions during topical workshops.
The plenary sessions (i.e. commodity division/committee meetings) are open to all registered delegates and offer simultaneous interpretation in the official BIR languages English, French and German (as well as passive Italian and Spanish).
