Amsterdam Summer Conference 2025

Thank you to everyone who joined us at the 2025 EYBA Summer Conference in Amsterdam! Over four inspiring days, young legal professionals from across Europe came together to explore key topics shaping our profession — from climate litigation and human rights to the intersection of tech, democracy, and art law.
We’re incredibly grateful to our outstanding speakers, who shared their expertise, insights, and passion for justice and rule of law:

🔹 Jeroen Soeteman (Dean Dutch Bar Association)
🔹 Barbara Rumora-Scheltema (Dean Amsterdam Bar Association)
🔹 Thierry Wickers (President, CCBE)
🔹 Maaike de Jong (Lawyers for Lawyers)

🔹 Aalt Colenbrander & David den Blaauwen (NautaDutilh)
🔹 Sophie in ‘t Veld (Former MEP)
🔹 Marietje Schaake (Stanford Cyber Policy Center)
🔹 Martha Visser (Stedelijk Museum)

Special thanks to our hosts, the Jonge Balie Amsterdam, and to everyone who made this conference such a success — from our engaged participants to our dedicated organising committee.
