In 2026, the World Health Summit will make a total of three side meetings available to be hosted by successful applicant organizations. Youth organizations or civil society organizations are invited to host a side meeting in either a roundtable setup or in a theater-style setup.

The World Health Summit will provide the opportunity to host “basic side meetings”, meaning the sessions are self-administered and technical support staff is only available in emergencies.

Please check the participation terms and process of the WHS 2026 competition to host a Side Meeting on the World Health Summit website: https://www.worldhealthsummit.org/summit/side-meeting-opportunity.html
