Opening Ceremony Logistics

Due to the the expected high attendance, not all participants may find
access to the main session hall on the opening day. Therefore,
secondary passes will be issued to guarantee equitable access to all
stakeholder groups. All government delegations will automatically get
two secondary passes each and intergovernmental organizations, private
sector, civil society and the technical and academic communities will
be given a corresponding number of passes. All other participants will
be able to watch the proceedings of the opening day broadcast live in
the workshop rooms.
