To date, nearly 410 people have taken part in one or more BEST meetings. Each meeting draws around 25 participants.
In addition to the core of “regulars,” some of whom have attended the meetings since the beginning (2012), there are other occasional participants, depending on the topics on the agenda.
The network itself is made up of Chief Executives or Deputy Chief Executives of large local authorities in France or around Europe.
The meetings also owe much to the contributions of guest speakers and figures from national or international institutions, universities, research organizations or companies.
