Welcome to the Side Events and Exhibits Online Registration System (SEORS)!
On this page, you can apply for the selection process for holding a side event and/or exhibit at the upcoming United Nations Climate Change Conference COP 30, and find information on side events and exhibits held at previous conferences.
For more information on side events and exhibits, please visit the Side Events and Exhibits webpage on the official UNFCCC website.
While the secretariat continues its efforts to find sufficient funding for the coordination of side events and exhibits at the United Nations Climate Change Conference COP 30, in order to save the time for required authorization and mergers of applications, SEORS will be open in parallel so that the secretariat can immediately start the selection process if and when sufficient resources are found. The secretariat will keep observer organizations and Parties partnering with observer organizations informed of the selection process through the SEORS webpage.
Please note that exhibits are not yet confirmed for COP 30. Nonetheless, the secretariat will continue to collect applications for the selection process for both side events and exhibits through SEORS. However, the process would not begin or would be halted if and when resources are not sufficient.
