Regional Conferences in 2006 and 2007 will play an important role in informing the discussion at the World Forum in Istanbul.

 

These conferences will offer participants a chance to influence the 2007 Istanbul World Forum agenda. They will provide an opportunity for participants to share knowledge about the latest work in their region as well as debate the meaning of progress. They will help to ensure that the project represents a very broad range of countries and stakeholders.
