I'm excited to officially announce that we'll
be partnering with Hopin to host our #NoWar2021 virtual global conference
this June 4-6!! The virtual Hopin platform
facilitates an interactive conference experience
complete with one-on-one and small group networking,
virtual expo booths, breakout sessions, main stage panel
presentations, and more. Get your tickets to join World
BEYOND War for this exciting
event!

The COVID-19 pandemic has
forced us to re-think what global conferences can look
like. We've traded in long carbon-intensive
flights and pricey hotel rooms for an online experience
that allows us to network with activists around the
world and bring international experts into one virtual
space. We've broadened the conference theme
from a narrow focus on CANSEC (North America's largest
weapons expo hosted in Ottawa each year) to examining
the broader supply chain, from weapons expos to war
zones around the world. And we've added in speakers from
a diversity of perspectives, to capture global
viewpoints on the war machine's impact.
#NoWar2021 goes beyond a typical webinar
format. Through the Hopin platform, we can
create a more well-rounded conference experience that
includes panel presentations on the main stage,
workshops, skills trainings, and one-on-one and small
group networking. You can browse the expo booths and
talk live with sponsoring organizations; set up your own
private chats with other attendees; pop in and out of
breakout sessions and even create your own.
Many of us feel like Zoom pros now, but
we wanted to go beyond Zoom for #NoWar2021 to enrich the
experience of a virtual event. Unlike Zoom,
Hopin doesn't require any apps or downloads. It's an
in-browser experience best on Chrome or Firefox on
desktop. We'll send out a how-to guide in advance of the
event, and have volunteers on standby at our Help Desk
booth to assist with any tech issues during the live
event.
#NoWar2021 will be unlike any conference
we’ve hosted before. Check out the conference website for
the full schedule of events and speakers’
bios.
P.S. We’re also excited to announce the
details for the #NoWar2021 sponsorship tiers! Check out the sponsorship page for
perks like booking ad space in the program, reserving a
virtual expo booth, and more.
