United Nations hybrid conference - Geneva, Switzerland

Canapii's impact on UNCTAD eWeek 2023

The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) hosted its highly anticipated eWeek 2023 in Geneva -- the first in-person UNCTAD eWeek since 2019. Canapii played a crucial role in shaping the entire experience, including developing a customised mobile app.

A milestone event for global trade and development

UNCTAD eWeek 2023 was a multi-faceted endeavour offering a blend of in-person, virtual, and hybrid sessions. With over 3,500 participants registered from 159 countries, it featured 155 sessions with 706 speakers and 256 global session organisers who crafted and inputted content. The statistics speak for themselves: 8,500+ pages viewed and 4,500+ messages sent.
