GLL Summer Gathering 2019
The first edition of the GLL Summer Gathering was a long afternoon of extended networking and global experience sharing from our community and friends which turned into the curiosity rollercoaster.
By stepping away from the business as usual, we tapped into global trends, issues, events of witch Lithuania(ns) have been a part of. From there, we explored possibilities to open more doors for Lithuania’s global presence.
