Social events
Member States and other Conference participants intending to host social events during the Conference are reminded that the ITU Protocol Service maintains and monitors a calendar of such events.
The main purpose of maintaining this calendar of events is to inform Member States and other Conference participants planning to hold social events of possible scheduling conflicts. The ITU Protocol Service will seek to assist, to the extent possible, in identifying alternative times and date. It is, therefore, strongly advised that organizers of social events first liaise and coordinate with the ITU Protocol Service before proceeding with final arrangements for the date and time of a proposed social event. The ITU Protocol Service serves solely as a go-between to suggest possible slots based on its updated list of events and provides information on overlaps.
There will no longer be any distribution of invitations. Social events will be posted on the PP-18 website not later than one week before the opening of the meeting (TIES protected). The daily calendar will be shown on screens in the conference centre and social events will be announced on the day by the Secretary of the meeting taking place beforehand.
For all matters regarding social events during the Conference, please send all inquiries to protocol@itu.int (Tel. +41 22 730 59 27 – Fax +41 22 730 58 17).
