Dear all,

We are back with the latest news about the upcoming GeOnG forum, which will take place from October 24th to 26th, 2022.

As announced last December, we have decided to renew our commitment to include a diverse range of aid stakeholders in this year’s edition - discover the teaser here. Building on the success of the 2020 online edition, we have thus opted to “go hybrid” this year.

What do we mean?

This October, participants will be able to attend the 3-day event in person in Chambéry, getting the full experience and having access to all sessions and networking opportunities (for a fee). Online tickets will also be made available for people not able to attend the forum in France, which will give them access to the livestreaming of a selection of key sessions (for free) as well as to a few online workshops (for a fee).

Registration is expected to open at the end of June. In the meantime, enjoy the latest news and share your ideas for the agenda via our Open Call for Suggestions!

WELCOME TO OUR MEDIA PARTNER!

For the 8th edition of the GeOnG, CartONG is pleased to partner up, once again, with Alternatives Humanitaires. We thank them for their renewed commitment and support of the GeOnG forum’s raison d’être. Learn more about this partnership here.

ANSWER OUR CALL FOR SUGGESTIONS

This year, the 2022 GeOnG forum will be centered around the following main theme: “Do no harm” in the era of environmental emergency: revisiting Information Management in the aid sector. During the forum, we will thus look into how data and new technologies help better understand and measure our footprint, guiding us towards more resilience, as well as look into the challenging topic of the avenues the sector has to adjust to the environmental emergency. Learn more about the main theme and the four tracks of the agenda here.

This year, once again, we have opened a Call for Suggestions to encourage interested actors to submit ideas for sessions. It's not too late to contribute and submit your ideas for the agenda!

Below you'll find a short recap of the session formats that we usually have at the GeOnG.
