    Product Identification Training for authorities

    The Product Identification Training for authorities is in “Market Style.”

    Book a table with us to display your samples and train authorities to recognize counterfeit products. We have one table available for each member, and we can provide a spot for around 48 members in total. We want to give priority to new members. After booking a table, we will ask you to indicate whether you want a morning or afternoon slot for this training event.
    TIP: You may book appointments with React units, teams, and/or partners when you aren’t at the training event. Both venues are across, so you can easily walk from one to the other.

    We expect around 180 officers to attend.

    Speeddates on Friday

    On Fridays, our teams and partners are available for a speed date, an excellent opportunity for discussing important topics face-to-face and catching up. To book time with our teams, please get directly in contact with our teams and partners!

    New this year is that we are dividing the authority training event into morning and afternoon sessions. So, you can combine the training for authorities with these speed dates to get the most out of Friday.
