Thematic Theatres

5,000+ global public and private sector officials, 300+ leading speakers over 2 days in 1 location

Every year we deliver world-class, innovative conferences featuring thematic theatres with a rich selection of expert speakers from across the globe.

On April 15th and 16th, the World Humanitarian Forum portfolio of events, Aid&Trade, IDME, and Emergency Show will present highly-curated thematic theatres. While they initiate themed discussions around the sector, they also give the global audience the opportunity to develop a deeper understanding and to take part in training courses.

The 2020 thematic theatres will feature:

Each theatre has its own Working Group. These are groups of sector experts that help curate the agenda and therefore create a unique framework for discussion.

The thematic theatres take place within the exhibition floor and will be free to attend for all registered visitors and exhibitors.

The sessions will initiate themed discussions around the industry and enable an international audience to be involved, giving them the opportunity to develop a deeper understanding and take part in training courses.

These themed discussions enable me to engage with a large, global
audience, colleagues, and peers. We compare notes from different contexts, and it gives me a chance to reflect on what we are doing and how we can make it better together.
