The Fundació Fòrum - Barcelona Center for the Support of the UN Global Compact and the UN Global Compact Office (GCO) with the collaboration of Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ) GmbH will convene the VI Annual Local Networks Forum (ALNF) to be held on the 21st and 22nd of October 2008 at the Deutsche Post World Net Headquarters, in Bonn / Germany.

Bringing together approximately 150-200 participants representing Global Compact Local Networks (GCLN), Regional Support Centers, the private sector, government and civil society representatives, it provides a unique platform for GCLN representatives to exchange experiences in addressing the challenges and opportunities faced by networks in their efforts to promote the Global Compact locally. More importantly however, the key function of the Local Networks Forum is to seek input from GCLN representatives on key governance issues relating to Local Networks and the Global Compact initiative as a whole.
