IARU Region 1 prepares for Workshop

[IK0ZCW]

Oct 4, 2021 - General Conference - Hans, PB2T

Delegates attending the forthcoming IARU Region 1 Workshop on the future direction for amateur radio and the associated short Conference sessions will already have received joining instructions.

The “Shaping the Future” event is designed as a highly interactive workshop where small groups of delegates will discuss the goals for amateur radio into the future and how Member Societies and IARU can support progress towards those aims.

The event is being held virtually, because of continuing COVID issues in many countries. Commenting before the event, IARU Region 1 President Don Beattie, G3BJ, said “We all know that our world is changing in many ways. This event is the opportunity to understand the implications of those changes and map the way ahead for amateur radio, so that IARU and its Member Societies share a common goal and a set of strategies for the future, and to resource action plans to start us on that journey. Holding an interactive workshop event of this scale is a challenge, but with everyone’s help and active contribution I am hoping for a positive and constructive output which will shape our work for years to come”.

Anyone who is planning to attend either the conference or workshop and who has not received joining instructions should contact the Region 1 Secretary urgently.
