Ancillary Meeting

An ancillary meeting is a meeting which can be in the form of a class, discussion, lecture, workshop, demonstration or similar presentation. As the name implies, ancillary meetings are subordinate to the official United Nations meetings. They are open to all delegates and the material presented becomes part of the public domain.

Professional Meetings

Professional meetings are usually called by the head of a professional or regional association and can be limited to invited guests and members. In some cases a professional meeting may be organized during the Congress in order to allow individuals of the same profession (e.g. heads of airport tower security) to meet.

Specialized Meetings

Specialized meetings can be highly technical and if they cover a specific item where security is a concern (e.g. training of police cybercrime technicians) they are open only to those specifically invited.

Publications

Attending Organizations and Vendors submitted many publications (print, audio, and video) as supplemental to the Congress.


Exhibits

The process for applying to host an exhibit at the 14th Congress will be handled in total by the Japanese Ministry of Justice via their Congress website.

Volunteer

No individuals working on the ancillary meetings and related activities are paid, including the Coordinator of Ancillary Meetings and Non-governmental Activities and the UN-caliber editors, supervisors and interpreters. Opportunities exist for volunteers and interns. The work is not only interesting, but volunteers are given full access to Congress activities.
