The Summit will bring together high-level representatives of all members of the Alliance including governments, private sector, civil society organisations, regional mechanisms/entities, and agencies of the United Nations.
Given the limited availability of in-person spaces and the need to allow for Ministerial delegations, it will not be possible for all members of the Alliance to attend the summit in person. Instead, as determined by the Summit Steering Group, in-person participation will be limited to one representative for each Alliance member from the private sector and civil society.
Virtual participation will be restricted to WeProtect Global Alliance members, with each member permitted up to three virtual spaces in addition to their in-person representative.
Participation from governments will be at the level of Ministers responsible for home affairs/interior, justice, law enforcement, technology, women and children, education and/or media. Participation from the private sector and civil society will be at CEO/Executive Director level where possible.
We are constantly reviewing our approach to the event in relation to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and related restrictions. We will be working closely with the local authorities and co-hosts to ensure that the event is compliant with the regulations at the time and the risk of Covid-19 transmission is greatly reduced. We will be contacting attendees closer to the event with information about testing, mask-wearing and other measures.
Should the situation develop to the point where an in-person Summit is not possible, we will contact participants as soon as we are able to.
Yes, we advise you to start booking your travel and accommodation. You should not arrange any travel or accommodation before your in-person application has been approved as places are limited.
We recommend to find out if you need to apply for a Visa. WeProtect Global Alliance is unable to facilitate any Visa application. Also, we advise to be aware of the most up-to-date information on COVID-19 guidelines in Brussels by using the following links:
If you are joining us from a civil society organisation or government from an Official Development Assistance country or are speaking at the Summit, you may be eligible to have your accommodation and travel reimbursed. These requests need to be approved and agreed upon by our team before the event. We are not able to retroactively reimburse expenses. Read our travel policy to learn more about the funding process.
Please hold onto your receipts as you will need them to fill the expense report form after the Summit. This will allow us to refund you any eligible expenses in one go.
If you are an Alliance member wishing to present, speak or exhibit at the Global Summit, you can email the details of your proposal to info@weprotectga.org. However, please be aware there is limited room for additional sessions in the agenda, and decisions about key-note addresses and panels will be made by the organisers and Summit Steering Group.
