    Get everything you need to know about the new, user-friendly European Design System in this fast-paced, 45-minute webinar. The new EU Design Regulation and Directive is expected to be formally published in January 2025 and will become operational four months later. This reform is designed to ensure that design protection is fit for the digital age by simplifying, modernizing, and harmonizing the system across EU member states, making it more accessible and efficient.

    Join Berggren’s own, Robert Alderson and Paula de Andrés Gómez, for an engaging, interview-style session that will provide a comprehensive overview of the upcoming changes and their impact on your work.

    The webinar will take place on 23 January 2025 at 4.00 PM Helsinki time (EET). For reference, this is 3.00 PM in Central Europe (CET), 2.00 PM in the UK (GMT), and 9.00 AM in the eastern United States (EST).

    Register now to stay ahead of the curve so you can be prepared for the new regulations when they go live. A recording will be available for those unable to attend the live session.
