Planning your schedule for the 2022 International Social and Behavior Change Communication Summit?

There’s so much to see and do within the Summit program. But don’t forget: There are also many auxiliary events – from meetings to presentations to networking sessions – taking place outside of Summit hours. Auxiliary events are not organized by the SBCC Summit, but by partner organizations and donors. They are an opportunity for groups to convene stakeholders to focus on their own area of interest in the format of their choice.

The morning sessions typically start at 7 a.m., with evening sessions beginning at 6:30 or 7 p.m. Topics range from risk communication and community engagement during crises to COVID vaccines to gender-based violence. Some auxiliary events are private events and not open for registration. Some require registration, so it’s a good idea to sketch out your plans before the Summit, being held Dec. 5 through 9 in Marrakech, Morocco.

See you in Morocco!
