2. A digital seminar… but not only
The NOE Program usually takes place in Evian
Because of all the uncertainties linked to COVID, it was decided this year to design it in digital form.
We have rolled out a set of initiatives that will allow participants
to live the experience also in a “physical” form.
For example, a week before the seminar, they will receive a box with a set of documents and objects,
which will allow them to truly embark on the adventure!
