Our job at YBI is to do everything we can to make this week worth your time and effort, should you need anything or have any questions about any aspect of the Global Forum just ask any one of the YBI team We want you to get the most out of every minute at this Global Forum so I wonder if I could ask the person sitting next to you to observe some house rules during the Global Forum! If you need to make or take a phone call, please leave the room to do so. Smoking is not permitted in the hotel’s public areas, this room (the Terraza), breakout rooms, the admin room or the lunch venue; and dinner venues are also non-smoking. Please wear your delegate badges throughout the week. Arrive promptly each morning. We will call delegates who have not shown up All the workshops are being summarised by notetakers so no need to make extensive notes of your own. Aim to arrive 5 minutes before transport departs for any external venues – including tonight (Monday), Wednesday and Thursday. Meet in foyer where you will be shown to transport by YBI staff. We will not be able to wait for latecomers. All the presentation materials from the Global Forum will be distributed to all members on Thursday morning and a daily report will be posted on the YBI blog where everyone also has the chance to make comments So without further ado lets get started!.

The logic for our network is simple, we are better placed to meet our responsibilities and seize our opportunities together than we are on our own.
