To give a small snapshot of what is in store at this year's Annual Meeting: 

- The meeting will take place over four days from the 12th - 15th of June, with simultaneous Arabic, English, French, and Spanish interpretation provided for all sessions on 15 June and on select sessions throughout the 13th to 15th of June. Arabic interpretation will be available throughout the event, although if there is more than one session in parallel it will be provided for one session during that time slot. For sessions where simultaneous interpretation is not available, closed captioning in French and Spanish will be available. 

- The Opening Half-Day of the meeting will focus on the meeting theme of putting children and their protection at the centre of humanitarian action, by charting how the CPHA sector has and will continue to evolve, including in recognition of the centrality of children and their protection, and through hearing the major commitments made by donors and member states at the Oslo Conference on 5-6 June.   

- To celebrate World Day Against Child Labour on June 12th, the day will conclude with a special event facilitated by the Alliance’s Child Labour Task Force.  

- This year we received 87 abstract submissions. 36 of these were selected from international and local/national NGOs, UN agencies, other networks, coordination bodies, and universities and research institutions.

- These will be shared during the meeting on 13, 14 and 15 June to engage key stakeholders in strategic discussions on how to strengthen collective action on child protection in humanitarian action, and share practical examples, research and best practices on the meeting theme. Strategic-advocacy focussed sessions will be featured on 15 June, but please check the agenda to find the various Strategic-advocacy sessions throughout the 13th and 14th of June.

- A selection of sessions will be led by our Working Groups, Task Forces and Initiatives on the 13th and 14th of June to showcase their work and engage you in discussion about their areas of focus and plans.

- A number of additional abstracts have been developed into infographics and will be showcased in our Infographic Gallery and Marketplace. The Gallery can be accessed through our Community of Practice, for which you should register in advance of the meeting by following this link. See the Agenda to find the select break times will be used for the infographics to be shared in a 'marketplace' session where you can meet and talk to the authors.
