The Innovation Marketplace is the exhibit opportunity during the 5th
GEF Biennial International Waters Conference. This booth/display area
features exhibits highlighting project innovations, including unique
approaches and outputs, with emphasis on how these innovations might be
replicated. All breaks between sessions and the first two evenings will
be held in the exhibit area to promote exploration, informal discussion
and networking opportunities related to these innovations. To encourage
lively demonstrations, an award for the best exhibit will be given. All
GEF IW projects are encouraged to prepare an exhibt in the innovation
marketplace.

Online Marketplace
Additionally, this year we would like to put as much of the
Innovation Marketplace online as possible (and prior to the IWC5).
Please visit www.iwlearn.net/iwc2007 for
examples of how this might be done. Please submit PDF's of your posters
and publications (and other materials) and send them to iwc5@iwlearn.org.
Shipping Materials to Cairns
Some of you may wish to ship materials to Cairns in advance of the
conference.
The best place to send material is to the Cairns Convention
Centre...however there is some bureaucracy involved and it is important
to follow the directions in this
file.
Essentially you need to notify the Cairns Convention Centre via email
(events@cairnsconvention.com.au) as in the
file. Also in
the
file is a
printout that should accompany the shipment. All of this will ensure
that things dont get lost. Please send as soon as possible to make sure
it gets there...
The shipping address btw is:
Cairns Convention Centre
Cnr Wharf & Sheridan Streets
CAIRNS QLD 4870
