"We concluded 17 days of Open-Ended meetings – our first fully-fledged hybrid event in 6 UN languages. Online viewers, speakers, and on-site participants were able to exchange discussions and negotiations. Interactio technicians serviced the meeting on-site, which facilitated our AV team’s work. We are grateful to Interactio’s dedication and excellent customer service."
From the 14th to 29th of March, the world came together in Geneva for the resumed UN Biodiversity meetings. The event aimed at discussing and finding solutions for the current issues regarding nature and humanity. The meetings were held live at the International Conference Center Geneva – the biggest conference center in Geneva and a hub of the most important institutional meetings. However, not everybody was able to join the meeting on-site, urging for a hybrid solution.
CBD looked for a platform that could support on-site meetings and enable more than 500 participants to engage remotely. In addition to the Plenary Sessions, which had to be streamed on YouTube into all six UN official languages, over 150 separate meetings were held individually in a hybrid manner.
