EIGE GENDER EQUALITY FORUM 2024
Project
The Gender Equality Forum 2024 was EIGE's flagship event, designed to foster dialogue between European institutions, Member States, civil society, researchers, businesses and young people on the future of gender equality across Europe. The event took place at The Egg Brussels and online.
The Forum combined keynote speeches, panel discussions, interactive workshops, artistic performances, networking moments and hybrid participation to create an inclusive environment where ideas, experiences and policy recommendations could be shared.
Beyond the main plenary programme, the event featured multiple parallel workshop streams, press activities, bilateral meeting rooms, youth sessions, exhibitions and the launch of the Gender Equality Index 2024, making it far more than a traditional conference.
Solutions
OFCORES partnered with EIGE to deliver the complete operational management of the Gender Equality Forum, transforming a complex two-day hybrid programme into a seamless participant experience.
Our team coordinated every aspect of the event, including project management, supplier coordination, venue management, registration, audiovisual production, livestreaming, branding implementation, participant communications, speaker management and onsite logistics.
The Forum simultaneously operated across multiple event spaces including the main plenary theatre, three parallel workshop rooms, a press room, bilateral meeting rooms, a quiet room, networking areas and exhibition spaces, all requiring continuous operational coordination.
A strong emphasis was placed on accessibility and inclusivity throughout the event. OFCORES implemented dedicated accessibility measures including accessible seating, wheelchair-friendly layouts, quiet spaces, Braille materials, personalised participant support and adapted stage arrangements, ensuring every participant could fully engage with the Forum regardless of their individual needs.
The event also required extensive coordination of hybrid sessions, livestreaming, interpretation, press activities, exhibitions and artistic performances while maintaining a seamless attendee journey for both onsite and online audiences.
