More than 50 participants from 27 countries attended the conference.
This time, the participants were given the chance to actively participate not only at the User Conference itself but also in the creation of the programme. Among other things, the participants discussed the BAT rules and practices currently in place but also topics of special importance to BAT Users.
The conference also provided the perfect opportunity to exchange views and to network within the basketball community.
