One of the most anticipated sessions at the 27th ICOM General Conference in Dubai was the roundtable on the Revision of the ICOM Code of Ethics.

The session included an open Q&A, giving participants the opportunity to ask questions, share insights and contribute feedback directly to the evolving process.
