I had the privilege of attending the Consulate Conference at the Austrian Embassy in Washington DC, and it was truly an enriching experience. The conference provided excellent training opportunities, enabling me to enhance my skills and broaden my knowledge in the field of consular affairs. Moreover, the event served as a fantastic platform for networking with Austrian consuls in the US. The exchange of ideas and experiences during the conference was invaluable, as it allowed me to gain insights and perspectives from different states. The atmosphere was highly energized, with engaging discussions and thought-provoking sessions. The photo on the left shows our west coast team.
