Highlights from the Last Year
Online Board Meetings

Over the past few months, ATMIA hosted four productive online Board meetings, bringing together our leadership team to discuss strategy, initiatives, and opportunities across Europe and Emerging Markets. These sessions continue to strengthen our collective vision and commitment to the industry.

For the first time in nearly seven years, we held our annual ATMIA conference in London. A special highlight was the Meet and Greet session, which united Board members and Emerging Leaders group members for networking and collaboration. It was a pleasure to reconnect in person and welcome new faces to our community.
