Guidelines for CCW2022 Sessions/Events

Who can propose and host sessions/events?

Catalyst 2030 members, Catalyst 2030 Awards winners and finalists may propose and host sessions and events during CCW2022. Engage with other Catalyst 2030 members to co-create sessions and submit the proposed sessions on behalf of the collaboration. Members may plan in person activities at a local level as well as hybrid events in their country and region in collaboration with other Catalyst 2030 members.

It’s important to note that sessions co-created by multiple Catalyst 2030 members tend to be accepted rather than individual proposals.

When will sessions/events for CCW2022 take place?

Online, offline and hybrid sessions and events will take place throughout CCW2022 during 9-13 May 2022.

When organising CCW2022 events and activities it is important to always:

Respect national and local safety guidelines related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Prioritise online interaction if local health authorities have discouraged in person activities.
