Organize a session for the 2026 PILnet Global Forum November 10-12 in Cape Town!
Submit your proposal by Friday, May 8, 2026
Join us in shaping the agenda of the 2026 Global Forum in Cape Town by organizing a session.
We don’t just want your ideas for sessions, we want you to take full ownership and create, organize, and facilitate a Forum session so that you play an integral role in shaping the conversations at the Forum. The aim is to exchange knowledge and best practices of using the law to support civil society and spark new ideas or develop projects and partnerships.
If your session proposal is selected, you will take responsibility for organizing your session, including inviting and liaising with speakers, planning the content and timing of the session, and facilitating it at the Forum. A PILnet staff member will work with and support you on all logistical and technical aspects of your session.
Please read the Session Proposal Guidelines and Procedures in full before submitting a proposal and follow all instructions closely.
PILnet reserves the right to withdraw the invitation for selected sessions if milestones in organizing are not met on time (i.e. we don’t receive names and bios of confirmed speakers, or registrations are not completed by the deadline).

For questions, or if you’d like to share an idea for a session but aren’t able to organize it, feel free to reach to us via email before May 8, 2026 at [email protected].
