Who can take part in GCARD?

The size of the conference venue limits the number of people who can take part in GCARD 2010. As far as possible, there will be a balance of representation from different sectors and regions. Those who represent key constituencies and who have made particularly useful contributions to the consultations will receive invitations. There will be some sponsorship for those most in need of support, to ensure their voices are heard at the meeting.

There will also be some places for individuals. If you wish to take part, please pre-register on the website. Places will be offered to selected individuals to help ensure a representative spread of voices is heard.

If you yourself are not able to attend GCARD 2010 you can still be part of what is happening hour-by-hour and day-by-day. You can visit the GCARD website and watch real-time videos. You can read and watch interviews with all kinds of participants. You can follow our blog and find out what’s being said by presenters and discussed in sessions. You can have your say by posting comments. A daily newsletter posted on the website and daily thoughts from key participants will keep you abreast of developments, as well as posts on Facebook and Twitter.
