The programme sets out the course of each event: plenary sessions, round tables, workshops, breaks and discussion periods. It is published at least six weeks before the date and refined until the day before. Each session states its theme, format, speakers and language.
You can build your own route by choosing the sessions that concern you. A printable version and a mobile version are available.

Structure of a typical day
The day begins with reception and badge collection at 8:30 a.m. An opening plenary session, lasting one hour, sets the framework for the discussions. Two series of parallel sessions follow, separated by a working lunch.
The afternoon ends with a summary presented by the rapporteurs, followed by a reception that encourages informal exchanges.
Plenary sessions and round tables
Plenary sessions deal with general directions: developments in the law, review of operations, new technologies. Round tables bring together four or five speakers from different backgrounds, led by a moderator.
Each round table sets aside twenty minutes for questions from the floor. Questions may also be put remotely through the event messaging.
Practical workshops
Workshops are limited to thirty participants and are based on concrete cases. Participants learn to use a database, to verify a certificate or to draw up a report. Materials are provided in advance.
Workshops are held in several languages; each one's language is stated in the programme. It is recommended to register for them at the same time as for the event.
Speakers and moderators
Speakers are chosen by a programme committee for their expertise: magistrates, curators, investigators, lawyers, representatives of auction houses, researchers. Their biographies are published with the session.
Moderators ensure a balance among contributions and keep to time. Statements are made in accordance with the Chatham House rule for confidential sessions.
