Guidelines for CCW2023 Sessions/Events
Who can propose and host sessions/events?
Catalyst 2030 members and Catalyst 2030 Awards winners and finalists may propose and host sessions and events. We invite you to engage with other Catalyst 2030 members to co-create sessions and submit them on behalf of a collaboration. Members may collaborate to plan and host local, in-person activities, as well as hybrid events at a national and regional level.
Sessions co-created by multiple Catalyst 2030 members tend to be accepted rather than individual proposals.
When will sessions/events for CCW2023 take place?
Online, offline and hybrid sessions and events will take place during CCW2023 from 1-5 May 2023.
When organising CCW2023 events and activities always:
- Respect national and local safety guidelines related to COVID-19.
- Prioritise online interaction if local health authorities have discouraged in person activities.
