Meeting agenda

The schedule of the conference followed the tradition of past Central Circle meetings.

Member firm Pape & Co. welcomed the group with a drink at their offices followed by a visit to Paulaner Brewery, the famous German brewery, where the group had the opportunity to enjoy the brewery's great food, drinks and hospitality.
