BACKGROUND.
There are very few annual events that are as important as the Reykjavík Global Forum. It’s purpose? To increase thenumber of women in political leadership positions globally; to create measurable change.Held annually in Reykjavík (Iceland is “the best country for women” according to the WEF’s Global Gender GapReport), rather than cancel their 2020 Forum due to Covid-19, Women Political Leaders decided to deliver their2020 event virtually, further expanding their reach.
REQUIREMENT.
We delivered a 72 hour live event for 700 of the most powerful women in the world - an ‘invitation only’ interactive forum with Action Stages, Leaders Talks, Pavilion & Networking.This ran alongside 12 hours of live ‘ConversationStage’ programming from our hub at the Harpa Centre, Reykjavík. Streamed out to a global audience via YouTube,LinkedIn Live, Twitter, Facebook & CBS News.Speakers included Hillary Clinton, Melinda Gates & 13current or former Prime Ministers or Presidents & total viewing figures were in the millions
FEEDBACK.
“I’m sure once this sinks in and we look back at the great work we all have done to make the RGF happen, and haveit climb to new heights, we will be wondering: “how did we actually do this?”It’s been an incredible team effort!”
