Our goal

Business of Class Actions is a new conference for people working with collective redress, mass claims, consumer litigation, funding, enforcement, and related policy questions in Europe.

For the first edition, our goal is simple: build a focused programme, bring the right people into the room, and create space for practical discussion between lawyers, funders, economists, companies, associations, and public-sector voices.

Conference location

World of Wine

Perched on the south bank of the Douro River in Vila Nova de Gaia, World of Wine (WOW) is one of Porto’s most striking cultural districts, with sweeping views across the river to the historic Ribeira and the Luís I Bridge. Opened in 2021 within beautifully converted port-wine cellars, the 55,000 m² complex brings together seven museums, a dozen restaurants and bars, a wine school and dedicated event spaces — a fitting setting for a day of class-action discussion. It is roughly 25 minutes by car from the airport.

Rua do Choupelo 39, 4400-088 Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal
