As a premier platform for discussing migration-related challenges and opportunities, VMC brings together ministers, leading experts, and practitioners from across the EU and beyond. It also gathers top figures from international organisations, academia, civil society, and the private sector. VMC discussions are streamed online to ensure that the wider migration community can engage with the debates and insights shared on stage and in-person talks.
The conference provides an important opportunity for a diversity of voices to be heard, promotes clarity about different perspectives, and fosters space for compromise and cooperation to address challenges and seek opportunities together.
