As a host organization, you will have the unique opportunity to shape the event program, highlight local priorities, and connect your community with the global sustainability movement. Whether you are a single location/organization or a consortium of hosts, we welcome your application.

To be eligible, hosts should demonstrate experience in organizing international convenings and capacity to deliver a great experience (e.g. for a main conference, provide a venue capable of accommodating 200-1000 attendees for a 3-4 day event. For a workshop or panel, a track record of hosting such sessions in a comparable network). As virtual participation will be crucial, hosts should also be equipped with facilities that enable interactive online engagement at scale.

Key responsibilities of hosts include co-designing and co-facilitating the event, engaging local sponsors and partners, and providing dedicated support. Collaboration with the co-convenors will be essential in ensuring the success of the event.
