Speakers
Nadia Belkacemi Junior Legal Counsel
Originally from Manchester, Nadia graduated with First Class Honours in Law from the University of Manchester, before completing her LPC and obtaining a Master's in Human Rights and Media Law. She qualified into Corporate law and gained experience in Commercial and Tech law at an international private practice firm before transitioning in-house to a company she has always loved. Nadia considers the move to Booking.com to be one of her best career decisions – she loves travel and experiencing other cultures – which aligns completely with life at the company. Although it was a big change from private practice, she has enjoyed the fast-paced, dynamic environment of Booking.com and has found the shift both exciting and incredibly rewarding.

After a long term secondment at a global bank, Ant moved in-house and has gained vast experience in retail, gaming and fashion industries, holding senior leadership roles along the way. Ant has supported businesses in scaling in their key international markets, in particular the US, advising across a range of operational and legal matters (including logistics and distribution, IP protection, marketing / advertising and IT software / services). Anthony is currently a director in the Trips legal team with a focus on commercial and product legal matters.
