The Tunis phase of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) will
consist of two parts: the Summit that will take place from 16 to 18 November
2005 at the "Parc des expositions du Kram" in Tunis, and the Parallel
events, consisting of a series of meetings, discussions, workshops and
exhibitions that will also be held in the Kram Centre. 

More information on the Format of the Summit and the Agenda are available at

Parallel events consist of

*	an exhibition and a partnership area 
*	events like  meetings, discussions and workshops etc.

The exhibition will be open to the public. Exhibitors do not necessarily
need to be accredited to WSIS, but they should respect the non-profit
character of the parallel events. Requests for exhibition space can be made

mentioned deadline does not apply to requests for exhibition space. The
exhibiton will open on 15 November and will last till 19 November 2005.

 

Events in the Kram Centre can be organized by all accredited stakeholders,
between 14 and 19 November 2005. Limitations may apply due to room
