Practical expertise straight from the experts

As part of the partnership, the Event Academy will be offering an exclusive monthly webinar from January 2027, in close collaboration with the isdv. The initiative addresses precisely those areas where the needs of sole traders are greatest in their day-to-day working lives: The collaboration addresses the specific needs of the association’s members and provides tailor-made, immediately applicable procedures and solutions for a wide variety of business challenges. Likewise, the expertise of practitioners will facilitate new career entry points and the professional development of entrepreneurs.
