The Round Table Europe event of the Union of International Associations (UIA) will be held in the Prague Congress Centre, Czech Republic, from 18-19 November. The Round Table is planned to take place in a hybrid format. The Prague Convention Bureau won the candidacy to host this 14th Round Table Europe back in 2018. Due to the global pandemic, the event has been postponed to November 2021. Roman Muška, managing director of the Prague Convention Bureau, said: “Thanks to Prague being one of the leaders in the field of hybrid meetings and co-founding city of the Hybrid City Alliance – the global initiative launched by the Prague Convention Bureau and three other destinations in 2020 – we were able to offer UIA the opportunity to organise the event both for delegates onsite as well as for those connected remotely. “We are also preparing a special workshop focused on organisation of a hybrid event for attendees to present them the benefits of such type of events. We want to share best practices already published in the Hybrid City Alliance’s white paper with them, along with recent experience and observations from the IUCr Congress that was held in Prague in hybrid format in summer 2021.” Alongside the above-mentioned workshops on hybrid events, these four sessions will form part of the two-day event:
- Nina Gabatan, World Steel Association: The road to membership retention is engagement
- Sara Polak, prg.ai: AI – The next revolution and evolution of society
- Cyril Ritchie, president of UIA, first vice-president of CoNGO: The United Nations and Civic Associations
- Marc Mekki, Inspire Limitless: Innovation through Design Thinking
