Featured Parallel Events

Requests for Parallel Events:

DAW has developed an online system called Parallel Events Request and Coordination System to improve the coordination and scheduling of Parallel Events held during the CSW Sessions. This new system is a ‘one stop shop’ for
UN Missions, UN entities and NGOs for coordination and scheduling of Parallel Events during CSW Sessions and for NGOs to register their representatives for the upcoming CSW Session.

All requests for Parallel Events will now be made online by the Parallel Event organizers. Some of the benefits of this new system are:

Reduce data entry error
It will reduce data entry errors as each organization will be responsible for their own Parallel Events requests.
Enhance Communication
There will be enhanced communication between DAW, the NGO Committee and the organizers via automatic email notification of Parallel Event submission and scheduling. Important ad-hoc notifications from DAW and/or the NGO Committee will be sent via email to Parallel Event organizers through the new system.
Dynamic Parallel Events Calendar
Organizers will have access to the dynamic Parallel Event calendar. This calendar will show all Parallel Event requests as they are updated by the organizers and by the DAW or/and the NGO Committee. It will show the current live status of each Parallel Event request e.g. pending, submitted, and finally scheduled requests showing the location and time of the Parallel Events. This calendar will be an invaluable tool for organizers who may want to host a joint event or to make use of existing information to choose the timing of their own events. With this dynamic calendar, they can coordinate with other organizers who are hosting similar Parallel Events.
