Join us for our third United Nations and International Organizations Roundtable Conversations and Networking event on Wednesday, March 9 from 1:00 - 2:45pm, followed by a virtual reception on the platform Wonder until 3:30 pm. 

Building on the
success of last year's event, the virtual format allows us to connect you with 25 experts not only at the UNHQs in New York, Geneva, and DC,
but also in country offices around the world.

This exclusive event will give students the opportunity to speak with staff members from a range of international organizations in intimate small group discussions. Invited experts represent the African Union, Executive Office of the Secretary-General, IFAD, ILO, IOM, OECD, OHCHR, UN Alliance of Civilizations, UN-DESA, UN-DPPA, UN Office of the Special Adviser on Africa, UN Women, UNDP, UNHCR, UNICEF, UN Capital Development Fund, UN Development Coordination Office, UNFCCC, UN Global Compact, UN Office for South-South Cooperation and World Bank.

Unlike other networking events, the virtual roundtable conversation format will ensure that students have significant facetime with three IO officials, opening the door for meaningful relationship building. About six students will share a breakout room with one of our featured experts to discuss their work and experiences on the role of international organizations to foster development, cooperation, peace, human rights, climate change, and prosperity. Students will spend 30min each in three rooms to enable them to have a range of conversations.
 
After 3 rounds of structured roundtables, all participants are invited to join a virtual reception on the platform wonder that allows you to connect with other experts and participants.

Please note that the capacity for the event is limited.
