Working sessions or workshops

Organisers can choose between working sessions or workshops.

• Working sessions are composed of no more than 5 panellists (including the moderator) introducing the issue and offering their point of view to the audience. The moderator will engage the participants in an open discussion. Interpretation in the official WTO languages (English, French and/or Spanish) will be available on a first-come first-serve basis.
• Workshops take the form of informal brainstorming discussions. There will be no interpretation to allow for better interaction.

Selection process

The WTO is responsible for the selection process. To qualify for selection, your organisation needs to complete the online application form by 1 June 2020.

Please note that the number of available slots is limited. Selection will be based on creativity, diversity of the panellists – including gender, geographical representation, differences in perspectives and relevance to the theme and sub-themes.
