Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Here are some quick answers to things that people often ask from us.

I’m interested in participating in person to the forum in São Paulo. How do I register?

In-person participation to the forum is by invitation only. We build both the forum programme and invitation lists together with our partners. Due to limited venue capacity, we cannot promise to extend an invitation to the event to many who would be interested to come to Brazil. Should we be able to accommodate your request, we will contact you separately.

I would like to participate online, how to register?

Online participation is open to all, free of charge! Registration will open in the end of January on WCEF2025.com. You can order our newsletter to stay up to date of our announcements.

Are there other possibilities to participate in WCEF2025 activities?

Yes, there are! Accelerator sessions on 15 and 16 May are open for anyone to join, and they have a separate registration. Some accelerator sessions may be held online, some in person. You can find the accelerator sessions from the programme once their registration opens in March.

In addition, WCEF side events are organised throughout the year, so check out the menu on Sitra’s website. Closer to the forum, WCEF studios will also be announced.

I’m interested in proposing a speaker for the main forum. Who do I contact?

We recommend writing a short description of the possible speaker with their name, email, previous speaker experience, regional focus and topics they could cover. We will collect all speaker suggestions sent to at contactus.wcef@sitra.fi on our list and share them with all session leads who are currently working on building the sessions’ programme. Session leads will contact you or the speaker you’ve suggested, if they see these fit well to the session design.
