"The IELA meeting is an opportunity to meet & network with our foreign partners from around the globe. An exciting opportunity to cement old friendships, and to make new friends & partners as well. From the moment of arrival to Malta for IELA 2023, I attended both informal & formal meetings and networking events, as well as various classes and other group activities with our International colleagues each day. To be part of IELA, means these are all international partners that uphold the highest standards in the industry.
