The United Nations is delighted to welcome registered stakeholders to attend the WSIS+20 High-level Meeting. While we strive to accommodate all registered participants, due to limited space at UNHQ, security and safety measures may be implemented to manage access to the venue and conference rooms.
Once the registration is approved, a confirmation email will be sent to your account. Please make sure to have the email stored on your mobile device and presented when traveling to the venue along with a valid photo-ID document issued by a UN Member State.
