Second State Legal Defense Congress 2026
The Second State Legal Defense Congress, organized by Colombia's National Agency for the State's Legal Defense (ANDJE), brings together legal advisors, executives and public servants from national and regional government entities in Cartagena. Under the theme "Innovation in legal defense for human dignity," the event explores artificial intelligence in legal management, fiscal sustainability, and the Inter-American Human Rights System.
The Ethnic Thematic Hotel, an adults-only boutique hotel at Calle de la Moneda #7-10 in the Old City, is a short walk from the Cartagena Convention Center. We offer quiet, air-conditioned rooms, high-speed Wi-Fi to stay connected between sessions, and express check-in available 24/7, ideal if you are arriving from anywhere in the country.
Since many delegates travel from across Colombia, we recommend booking early. Booking directly with us secures the best guaranteed price, with no middleman commissions or OTA fees, plus complimentary access to our beach club in Bocagrande to unwind after the day's sessions.
