This week, the IFRRO World Congress (IWC) convened in Edinburgh. The event, which took place in the 18th century Assembly Rooms, one of Edinburgh’s most storied and elegant conference venues, brought together leaders from CCC and other reproduction rights organizations (RROs) from around the world to share knowledge and forge connections.
Below are highlights from the event as seen on Twitter.
