Impact Day - 29th March - Reminders
To: Participants (in person and virtual) - "Impact: Social and Behavioural Change" - UNAIDS - Geneva - 29th March 2011 (to read the full note and respond in this community please click on Read More link below, log in and comment/reply or start a new blog).
Hi folks - a few notes in advance of the Impact Day on March 29th in Geneva at UNAIDS in the Kofi Annan room starting at 9am Geneva time. Below I will cover: (1) the agenda (2) making presentations (and polls/assessments during the day) available to those not in Geneva for real-time comment (3) further prompts re both your expectations for the day and sharing your research results (4) wireless access in the room and (5) a note for the folks who are based in Geneva.
- The refined agenda is attached
- As each of the presentations commence we will make them available through this online community for online comments and questions - so feel free to join in no matter where you may be - we welcome all comments (nb there may also be some quick polls/surveys!
- Please do, through this community, submit both your expectations (interests/needs) for this day (with many thanks to those that have already) and your organisations relevant research and evaluation work/study (you can submit a separate "blog" and attach any files - please ensure they are pdfs). These remain really important as the presenters refine their presentations and want to ensure that they know about and respond to your needs and interests.
- There will be wireless access in the room. I am assured that it will handle 90 people no problem. So if you have a lap top please do bring it with you for the virtual interaction. BUT there are not many electric plugs so please make sure it is fully charged!
- If your office is in Geneva - I am very tentative in requesting this but f I do not ask...well.. people may say that I should have asked! The following is based on my past Geneva/London/New York etc experience. Because of the space restrictions we had to disappoint a large number of people who very much wanted to attend this little gathering. When your office is where the meeting is being held I know (mea culpa) it is tempting to head back to the office, miss sessions, respond to "emergencies, etc. But can I please ask you to put the whole day aside for this event as indicated when registering. I know you were going to anyway so apologies for any impertinence - many thanks.
OK - thanks - please keep the contributions flowing.
Best wishes to all - Warren
