¡Bienvenid@s a Madrid!*

A warm embrace and a heartfelt welcome to the AIJA Annual Congress 2024 in the vibrant city of Madrid!

Under the banner of “Thinking Globally – The Role of International Lawyers in a World Searching for Answers” we are thrilled to gather here in one of Europe’s most dynamic capitals to embark on a journey that transcends borders and unites legal minds from around the world. The AIJA community, renowned for its unwavering commitment to excellence and collaboration, has come together to explore new horizons, share knowledge, and forge lasting connections.

Madrid, a city steeped in rich history, art, and culture, serves as the perfect backdrop for this international legal rendezvous. As we converge upon this dynamic metropolis, we are reminded of the power of globalisation in our profession. The challenges and opportunities we face today extend far beyond local boundaries, and together, we seek to navigate this ever-changing legal landscape.

Beyond the professional sphere, the AIJA Annual Congress provides an exceptional platform for building lasting relationships with fellow legal professionals from every corner of the globe. As we convene in this cosmopolitan setting, we encourage you to seize the opportunity to network, exchange ideas, and create bonds that will endure beyond these few days.

Modern and dynamic, Madrid seamlessly blends its rich history with contemporary vibrancy. Skyscrapers grace its skyline, housing corporate giants, while innovative architecture like the Cuatro Torres Business Area reflects its forward-looking spirit. Cutting-edge galleries, progressive cuisine, and a pulsating nightlife highlight the city’s modern allure, embracing the future while treasuring its roots. Is this the perfect location to discuss the role of international lawyers in a world searching for answers? We think it is!

As Co-Chairs of the MAD Organising Committee, we extend our gratitude to each participant, sponsor, and partner whose contributions make this event a reality. Without your unwavering support, this global gathering would not be possible.
In the spirit of embracing global perspectives while celebrating Madrid’s unique charm, we invite you to discover the city’s cultural treasures, indulge in its world-class cuisine, and savor the warmth of its people – and of course, the non-stop Madrid nightlife.

With excitement and anticipation, we look forward to a memorable AIJA Annual Congress in Madrid. Let us come together to learn, share, and shape the future of our profession, united by the common thread that binds us – our passion for the law.
Let’s embark on this extraordinary global journey together!
